Credits: 1.0 ethics & professionalism credit hour
Description: Ending a professional relationship is rarely simple – especially when it involves an attorney and a client. This informative and practical program guides attorneys through the complex ethical considerations that arise when terminating a representation before a matter concludes.
Our accomplished presenter discusses both mandatory and permissive withdrawal scenarios and outlines the steps attorneys should take to ensure compliance with professional responsibility obligations. Topics discussed include obtaining court approval when required, providing appropriate notice to clients, managing deadlines, maintaining confidentiality, and addressing post-withdrawal duties related to client files and funds.
This class offers clear, practical guidance to help attorneys end client relationships ethically, efficiently, and in full accordance with their professional duties.
