Professional Ethics & Grievance partner Stephen Conover will co-present in this webinar on practical risk-management strategies for practicing attorneys, basic practice pointers to avoid malpractice and disciplinary actions, and how to respond to claims of malpractice or unethical behavior if they arise.

• Identify common malpractice and ethics risks in everyday practice and apply practical DOs and DON’Ts to prevent them in client representation, firm management, and professional communications
• Apply key Model Rules governing the client-lawyer relationship (Rules 1.1–1.10, 1.13, 1.16) to reduce exposure to disciplinary complaints and malpractice claims through improved documentation, communication, and decision-making practices
• Recognize ethical duties in dealing with non-clients (Rules 4.1–4.4) and avoid conduct that can trigger liability or professional sanctions in negotiations, investigations, and third-party communications
• Implement effective supervision and practice-management safeguards under Rules 5.1–5.5, including managing lawyers, subordinate lawyers, nonlawyer assistance, and multijurisdictional practice concerns to minimize firm-wide risk and regulatory exposure
• Respond appropriately to malpractice or disciplinary allegations, including understanding the role of malpractice insurance and the potential consequences of adverse judgments or discipline so you can protect your license, livelihood, and professional reputation
