Description

The modern office, post-Covid, operates quite differently, yet a lawyer’s actions are still subject to the Rules of Ethics. Practice remotely presents new challenges in the areas of conflicts of interest, fiduciary duty, confidentiality, and financial arrangements. Moreover, using social media platforms gives the practicing lawyer additional responsibilities to instruct clients on privacy and evidentiary retention. In this interesting examination of modern law practice, we will explore these operations and ethical duties in detail.
