McGuireWoods LLP invites you and your colleagues to attend Tom Spahn's annual ethics program. This two-hour interactive program uses hypotheticals to explore lawyers’ confidentiality and disclosure duties in the context of non-clients’ misunderstanding and mistakes.

Topics

  • Difference between ethics and professionalism
  • How to deal with unrepresented persons who may misunderstand a lawyer’s role
  • Negotiation ethics (including adversaries’ factual or legal misunderstanding, substantive mistakes or scrivener’s errors)
  • Litigators’ disclosure duties in the face of litigation adversaries’ or courts’ misunderstanding, mistakes, or scrivener’s errors

PRESENTER
