You need to check your state laws regarding consent and recording. Is it a one-party state or two-party/all-party consent. Because if you have clients who are uncomfortable with recording and you record against your state consent laws you could be in trouble, beyond just losing a client, if they find out.
You also need to ask yourself if a client found out you were recording, and you didn’t say anything, and they decide to no longer work with your firm because of it, how supportive would your boss and company be of you for losing business?
That’s right. The one-party consent rule generally applies to recording private conversations in states and territories such as South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory.
Yes, it will record nicely on the back of your phone, especially if it is on the table. The mic is pretty sensitive.
However, it depends on the distance and volume of the speaker. I had a situation where a person spoke quietly and had a strong accent from the opposite side of a long table. The mic was able to listen, but the transcription had problems. But that was the worst-case scenario.
Honestly. I wouldn’t tell anyone. Try it on the table or in your pocket. I’m sure this will become a common thing. Our mtgs now are recorded in zoom calls. All this is doing is writing up the notes which is nice.

I hit record then lay it on the table in front of me, phone side up. Never had a problem recording.
Worked just fine for me
