This course will illustrate ethical issues and malpractice claims that are unique to corporate lawyers, even those who practice as in-house counsel. The risks for lawyers are increasing, as are the costs of defending bar grievances and malpractice lawsuits. By identifying some common pitfalls and risks, attorneys are better positioned to prevent or defeat claims.
