Solo practitioners and small firms face ethical perils unique to their practices. Medium and large firm practitioners who intend to start a new law firm will face many of the same ethical problems. However, most ethical dilemmas can be avoided by simple risk management techniques and a basic understanding of common pitfalls that arise in these types of practices.

The goal of the program is to help attendees avoid disciplinary complaints and legal malpractice claims by recognizing ethical issues before they ripen into an ethical dilemma and applying common sense approaches to problems that could not be avoided. There will be a discussion of problems that arise in every day practice.
