This teleconference will outline the key ethical rules and parameters faced by lawyers during negotiations of litigated matters; and emphasize the recent guidance from the ABA and various state and federal courts on matters ranging from basic duties of disclosure to the often murky rules affecting class actions and the settlement of complex litigation affecting numerous parties. This teleconference will better equip you to strike an appropriate and effective balance between the need to represent clients vigorously and the need to adhere to the applicable rules of professional conduct.
