Stay in Your Lane: The Ethics of Legal Marketing on the Information Superhighway
September 27th, 12:00 PM CST
The link below to join the webinar will go live September 27th.
As lawyers continue to expand their online presence in their firm marketing or by simply making comments on social media, they must remain cognizant of the potential ethical risks. Ethical violations remain on the rise from lawyers’ online activity. As many lawyers continue to work remotely, law firms and courts alike are faced with additional ethical challenges related to technological competence, client confidentiality, digital marketing, and social media usage. Join attorneys Erin McCartney and Megan Zavieh to discuss how not to run afoul of the ethics rules while practicing law in a digital world.
