McGuireWoods invites you and your colleagues to join Tom Spahn for the annual Norfolk ethics program.

The program will address:
- Unauthorized practice of law and multijurisdictional practice (including the definition of legal practice, temporary and virtual practice, and choice of ethics rules)
- Law firm creation (including law firm names, hiring and noncompetes)
- Law firm operation (including paralegals, trust accounts, fee sharing and file ownership)
- Marketing (including content limitations and marketing intrusiveness)
