Course Description
What ethical issues will arise when lawyers decide to move from one law firm to another? Pillsbury Winthrop attorney David Keyko challenges you to identify the various ethical issues raised in each of three scenarios and then discusses each issue individually. He addresses such topics as partnership agreeements, soliciting clients, taking employees with you, conflicts checks, malpractice action, sharing firm information, and many other topics that may arise when one is faced with making a move.
