Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail: Addressing Conflicts of Interest Before They Arise 

June 14th, 12:00 PM CST

If you have already registered join below.

A substantial number of malpractice claims arise from a lawyer’s failure to identify a conflict of interest.  Conflicts can come in all shapes and sizes and at varying times during the course of representation. So, despite our best intentions, they can be difficult to identify.  Join J. Calhoun Watson, attorney at Robinson Gray located in Columbia, South Carolina, and Kate Gould, Risk Management Attorney at Attorney Protective, as they analyze several scenarios and provide best practice tips on how to avoid and address conflicts of interest.  The relevant rules of ethics concerning conflicts of interest will be discussed, along with what actions you should take if a conflict arises.
