Can Ohio public officials receive gifts or may a public employee have an interest in a public contract?  Karl H. Schneider, of counsel attorney with Eastman & Smith, describes what Ohio ethics laws entail (including gifts and contracts) in "Understanding Ohio Ethics Law."  The article appears in the summer issue of the Columbus Bar Legal Quarterly.  Mr. Schneider has extensive trial experience in white collar criminal defense, professional liability matters and complex business litigation.  This includes the defense of individuals and businesses before licensing boards and against federal and state prosecutions involving charges of bribery, public corruption, money laundering and fraud.  For questions about Ohio’s ethics laws, please contact Mr. Schneider.
