This paperwork aims to analyze the existing legal framework on the conflict of interest from an interdisciplinary perspective. In order to achieve the proposed scope, the topic is divided into three parts, organized in such a way that the information presented provides as detailed an insight as possible into the subject of conflict of interest. Part I will provide an introduction to the general theme of the topic.
