Year after year, conflicts of interest top the list as the most frequently alleged legal malpractice error. Despite lawyers’ best efforts to identify and avoid (or remedy) conflicts, they continue to challenge lawyers who feel the tension between maintaining current client relationships and securing new business.  Because conflicts can arise in various scenarios and even develop during the course of representation, it is critical that lawyers understand how to quickly spot and address conflicts. Speakers J. Calhoun Watson, Managing Member at Robinson Gray, and Kate Gould, Risk Management Attorney at Attorney Protective, will discuss the Rules of Professional Conduct concerning conflicts, examine several conflict of interest case studies, and advise how you should handle them. By analyzing real-world examples of potential conflicts, you will be better equipped to determine whether a conflict exists and what actions you should take to address the conflict. Lawyers of all levels of experience will benefit from this informative webinar.
