Ethical Issues in Commercial Litigation 2022: Law Society of BC

Ethical considerations in the practice of law are pretty standard, so a standard ethics program will be fine for you, right? Not so much. This is not your mother’s ethics program. Our speakers discuss and engage on what you want to hear about — issues that confront your commercial litigation practice. You get a chance to analyze what’s top of mind for your colleagues who are dealing with the same challenges and connect with them on how they respond. Parse through what you need to know about dealing with expert witnesses, effectively handling the potential for any conflict or appearance of conflict of interest issues, and learn how to clearly communicate with your clients.

• Analyze and consider what constitutes fair dealing with self-reps when nuanced legal strategies are engaged
• Learn about caution and care to be taken in settlement negotiations
• Consider how to proceed when the Rules of Professional Conduct are silent on your issue
