Description
Every attorney understands the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest, but doing so in transactional contexts can be more complicated than one might think! Attorneys Lisa Barclay and Thomas Mason examine the ethics surrounding transactions and conflicts of interest, emphasizing the importance of avoiding conflicts and the consequences of failing to do so. Barclay and Mason also cover the basic ABA Model conflict rules, the factors an attorney must consider in identifying conflicts of interest and common conflicts. Barclay and Mason's hypotheticals illustrating how to identify conflicts of interests are an invaluable part of this course. This program is a must see for all transactional attorneys, and is beneficial for all who want to better understand how to adhere to the ethical rules on conflicts of interest.
