Fee Agreements, Bank Accounts, Record-Keeping, and Succession Planning: What You Don’t Know Will Hurt You

Sleepless nights are a criminal defense attorney’s lot in life, full of worry about all of the things that can and do go wrong in the high stakes world of protecting an individual’s liberty. But there is one other thing that you should be worried about — your office’s compliance with the Rules of Professional Conduct and the Rules of Disciplinary Enforcement that apply to fees, fee agreements and banking. This ethics webinar will cover the conduct that may expose you to discipline relating to the handling of money. And if you are ready to give up those sleepless nights, this webinar will also address the Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1 and 1.3 and provide guidance on succession planning in both exigent and non-exigent circumstances. Specifically, this webinar will discuss the ethics of succession planning in three acts: the planning process, which exit to choose, and managing your retirement with the Office of Attorney Registration.
