We are seeking 2 hours of ethics MCLE credits for this program.
McGuireWoods invites you and your colleagues to attend Tom Spahn’s annual ethics program which will be held as a webinar this year, replacing the in-person fall program typically held in New York City. The two-hour interactive webinar uses hypotheticals to explore basic conflict-of-interest rules.
Topics
- The prohibition on adversity to current clients (including definitions of “client” and “adversity”)
- Rules governing adversity to former clients (including the “substantial relationship” standard and “hot potato” rule)
- Consents (including prospective consents)
- Disqualification motions’ standards, process and effects
This webinar will be recorded.
Login details will be sent to registrants before the event.
