Closed Captioned.

Breaking up doesn't have to be hard to do, and yet frequently leaving a law firm is fraught with difficulties. Apart from the personality issues, hard feelings, and business fears, navigating the ethics of the situation to comply with the rules can be challenging. Our faculty will walk you through the issues from the dual viewpoints of the Model Rules and helpful legal technology to help navigate these potentially treacherous waters.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the ethical responsibilities of the departing lawyer and the firm (Model Rules 1.4, 1.15, 1.16)
Understand how those responsibilities are divided, in the best case; and how to deal with them in the worst case.
Understand how using technology can contribute to a smoother and less painful transition.
