Learn strategies to ensure law professionals are paid fairly and on time.
A lawyer's representation of a client and termination or withdrawal from representation generates multiple potential ethics issues, including providing adequate notice to the client, ensuring that the client's interests are not prejudiced, and collecting earned fees and costs. This program will discuss these issues and provide important information and tips to guide lawyers to prevent or mitigate any issues that may arise.
