“You’re a lawyer, right?” Seemingly innocuous words, but when said at a cocktail party, family gathering, or even in a hallway or elevator at the courthouse, they pose a genuine challenge, don’t they? If a lawyer is not careful in responding, he or she may inadvertently create a professional relationship without intending to do so—leaving the lawyer potentially exposed to a malpractice claim.
This new live, interactive workshop is designed to help lawyers be more alert to the vulnerabilities they may face in various non-office settings, and to equip them with best practices for defining their roles up front, and setting clear boundaries with the person seeking advice.
