Annual Ethics Program — Litigation Ethics: Key Issues

9-11:15 a.m. (ET)

McGuireWoods invites you and your colleagues to attend Tom Spahn's annual fall ethics program. We have decided to host this program virtually again this year. The two-hour interactive program uses hypotheticals to explore topics of interest to litigators and to transactional lawyers whose clients might face litigation.

Topics

• Lawyers’ public communications about cases and judges
• Lawyers’ ex parte communications with adverse corporations’ current and former employees
• Threatening criminal or disciplinary charges
• Discovery techniques such as recording calls and accessing social media
• Exploiting inadvertently transmitted communications and metadata
• Filing ghostwritten and time-barred claims

Speaker
