Standard IV (A) prohibits members and candidates from ______.

I. using, for one employer, the skills and experience obtained from another employer
II. contacting clients from their previous firms

Correct Answer: Neither of these statements is true.

Once an employee has left a firm, the skills and experience that he or she has obtained while employed are not "confidential" or "privileged" information unless they are deemed such by an agreement or by law.

As long as the contact information does not come from the records of the former employer or violate an applicable non-compete agreement, members and candidates can contact clients from their previous firms.
