Description: The ethics rules regarding with whom an attorney may communicate, what information the attorney may seek to obtain, and what disclosures an attorney must provide to a person before commencing communications, can be a minefield for attorneys unfamiliar with the finer points of the applicable rules.
Join us for this informative and practical class that provides a comprehensive analysis of which parties, witnesses, and others an attorney may communicate with, and what the attorney may or may not discuss with such persons, with a particular emphasis upon communicating with unrepresented persons. Among the subjects our faculty expert will discuss are:
Circumstances under which a lawyer may give legal advice to an unrepresented person.
Information that an attorney must provide to an unrepresented person before commencing communications.
Communications with a represented person who is considering firing their lawyer.
Negotiating settlement terms on behalf of an unrepresented person.
Attorney-client privilege issues when speaking with a former employee of an adverse party.
How the substantive law impacts the ethics rules regarding communications.
Relevant choice of ethics law issues.
While litigators will find this class of particular interest, all attorneys may benefit by attending.
