Application of the attorney-client privilege can be particularly confusing for lawyers working as in-house or outside corporate counsel because it is not always clear who – among agents, contractors, employees, and directors – is the “client” and thus who can safely engage in privileged communication or waive the privilege. Whether the privilege applies also affects the company’s ability to communicate openly with counsel, conduct an internal investigation, and even engage in an important business transaction. If you work in-house or represent businesses as outside counsel, you need to fully understand the privilege in these circumstances.

Public protection has long been the reasoning behind lawyer licensing and regulation, yet the ever-growing market of DIY services and the increasing client demand for efficiency have forced a revolution upon the practice of law. Further, traditional legal services have become so expensive as to be inaccessible to many Americans. As a result, non-lawyers – whether computers or humans working in law-adjacent fields - are taking on an increasingly larger role in the delivery of legal services as well as providing critical access to justice. How do we strike a balance between broad access, sustainability, and maintaining integrity in the profession? What can non-lawyers or machines do without running afoul of UPL (unauthorized practice of law) restrictions? This webcast explores these questions and more.

It seems that the ink is barely dry on your law school diploma when friends and family start asking for legal help. As lawyers, we want to help, and as family members we often feel like we can’t say no. Unfortunately, what the lawyer may see as a quick favor to a loved one, can result in the lawyer being faced with a costly malpractice or disciplinary action. This issue often happens when the family member’s expectation of what the lawyer agreed to do does not match what the lawyer thought was obvious and understood or when the lawyer takes on something they do not have experience with and should not handle. While a lawyer might think their family member would never sue them, the family member may end up facing a significant loss for which they blame the lawyer. This program discusses many of the pitfalls lawyers face when giving legal help to friends and family. It is intended to help you make considered decisions about whether to assist your family and friends with their legal matters, and if you do represent them, to do so without putting yourself in jeopardy.
