What should a lawyer advise a client wanting to terminate their spouse's employment in a family corporation?

That they can personally terminate the employment
That only the lawyer can terminate the employment
That only the board of directors can terminate the employment
That termination is not possible

The correct answer is: That only the board of directors can terminate the employment

A lawyer should advise their client that only the board of directors has the power to terminate employment within a family corporation. Option A is incorrect because as a third party advisor, the lawyer cannot personally terminate employment. Option B is incorrect because the lawyer does not have the authority to do so. Option D is incorrect because termination is a common practice in most corporations, including family-owned ones, and should not be ruled out as impossible.
