Description: In recent years, more than 35,000 legal malpractice claims have been filed annually against attorneys with malpractice insurance. Many more complaints have been filed against those who were not insured. Join our expert panel, as they address daily practice and risk-prevention techniques to help reduce the possibility of a bar complaint and related malpractice claim being filed. These topics are among those the panel will cover:
Choosing clients and cases to avoiding conflicts
Communicating effectively
Handling client funds properly
They will also provide examples and practical advice to help those who attend focus on problem areas that so often lead to complaints. Lastly, the panel will discuss the major differences between relevant ethics rules in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia.
Experienced attorneys will find practical, new ideas to implement, while those newer to the practice of law will gain skills that will be useful throughout their legal careers.
