As lawyers, time is our most finite resource. We have duties to our clients to ensure that their matters are handled in a timely and competent manner, but there are only so many hours in a day. Busy law firms have been relying on contract lawyers for decades to meet client needs when demand is high and time is low. Bringing in outside lawyers can implicate several important ethical rules that every firm must know.
In this program, we will discuss the duty of competence ((1.1), the duty of diligence (1.3), communications with the firm’s client (1.4), conflicts of interest (1.7, 1.10), fees charged to the client (1.5, 1.5.1), the duty to maintain client confidences (1.6), aiding and abetting the unauthorized practice of law (5.5), and how to handle malpractice insurance as it pertains to working with contract attorneys.
