There is a significant body of precedent holding that an attorney acting as a compliance officer is not engaged in the practice of law for conflicts purposes and has a quasi-fiduciary duty to the stakeholders protected by the compliance function.
This is the paradigm in the corporate/financial markets world, at least. I'm not as versed in the health care field.
