Learn how to handle legal errors ethically and effectively, with tips to navigate mistakes, client discussions, and avoiding common pitfalls.
Statistics confirm year after year that legal malpractice claims are on the rise. Thus, it is likely that at some point in their career, a lawyer will discover that they have made an error or a mistake in a client matter. What happens next can be critical, both for the lawyer’s ethical obligations to their client and their own potential future exposure. However, the discovery of a mistake does not have to be a gut-wrenching issue. This presentation will identify tips for how to navigate a mistake or error in a client representation, including the attorney’s ethical obligations to the client, how the conversation with the client should go, and what steps may follow. This live webinar will also discuss common mistakes lawyers make in trying to mitigate an error, and how to avoid making a situation worse.
