About This Course
Whether you are a solo practitioner, a partner in a large firm, in-house counsel, or a government attorney, you don’t practice alone. Most likely you have non-lawyer staff, law clerks, and partners or other colleagues with whom you work. While you take care to ensure that you are always complying with applicable codes of professional conduct, what happens if someone in your office engages in misconduct? Could you be held responsible for that person's actions?
This CLE program presented by Ron Minkoff, one of the leading practitioners in the field of attorney ethics and professional responsibility, will examine the applicable ethics opinions and model rules (including MRPC 5.1-5.3) as they apply to your professional responsibility for actions taken by others with whom you work, including:
- non-lawyer staff
- law clerks and summer associates
- junior associates
- laterals/partners
- co-counsel
