Description

Many lawyers view the client consent/conflicts waivers form as nothing more than a technical, ethical obligation which deserves little substantive attention because it doesn't matter what it says. Many other lawyers believe that there is no effective way to disclose what a client needs to know in order to make an informed conflicts waiver decision. Both groups of lawyers are have something to learn.

Listen to this program to learn how to use consent forms to communicate effectively with your clients and to protect yourself from disciplinary claims, damage claims, fee disgorgement and disqualification. Hear our faculty discuss what works, what doesn't, and what's just plain dangerous.

This online course includes downloadable course materials in PDF format.
