Ethics

When (and How) to Dump a Client…the Ethical Way

Description:

Let’s face it, we all have clients we don't like, and some of our clients don't like us either. It’s probably a good idea to part ways with some, but how does a lawyer do that, ethically? Join the CLE Performer, Stuart Teicher, Esq., as he explores when, and how, a lawyer could get rid of problem clients…and still comply with the ethics rules. Topics include:

  • Terminating a client relationship properly — Rule 1.16(d)
  • The need to avoid adverse effects on the client — Rule 1.16(b)
  • When dumping a client can end up in a conflict situation — Rule 1.7
  • Should we be required to try to work things out? (professionalism concerns)

Easily one of the best CLEs I've had the pleasure to attend. The content was informative and entertaining and easily applicable

I love this guy. He actually makes ethics training interesting.

Great reminder that transactional attorneys need to pay even closer attention to the rules of professional responsibility. Also, being direct in providing legal advice under Rule 2.1 is essential, even in in-house contexts where one may be dealing with sales and marketing teams. Striking a balance between diplomacy and directness when working in-house is essential, but this session emphasized to me that I should err on the more direct side.

A very well-prepared and interesting lesson on an issue that every practicing attorney will face.
