About the Product
Chapter 49 Good Ethics = Good Business - Failure to comply with ethics rules can lead to suspension from practice or even a revocation of your law license. Even an allegation of impropriety can be embarrassing and result in a loss of business.
This chapter examines the ethics rules that govern the conduct of lawyers, with a special focus on those rules that apply to client development. It outlines the ethics rules that govern fee sharing, the use of technology in marketing, and your responsibility for the acts of others who may be marketing on your behalf. In addition, author William E. Hornsby, Jr. includes a list of resources that provide additional guidance.
This chapter alerts you to some of your obligations, analyzes your areas of possible concern, and encourages you to embrace sound ethical decision making on your road to a successful practice.
