Everyday Law Practice Is Filled With Legal Ethics Issues
It’s Inherent To The Practice Of Law
There are plenty of legal situations where it’s not always obvious how to do the right thing. Sure you know the Rules and can read them for yourself. Applying them in the complex situations presented in daily practice while minimizing professional risk can be challenging though. Here’s a quick look at some of the more personal legal ethics issues you might be struggling with.
- You might be worried about something to do with your past conduct or present situation. You need a trusted advisor with the highest degree of discretion to help guide you through and get you peace of mind.
- Perhaps you’ve started to receive not-so-thinly-veiled threats from an adversary or former client. It’s weighing on your mind and keeping you up at night. You want advice or representation to prevent the situation from escalating.
- Maybe you have made mistakes where your professional conduct does not comport with the technical requirements of the Rules of Professional Conduct. You know that, and don’t need someone to tell you so. What you need is strategic advice on taking remedial measures and dealing with the real-world consequences at hand. You want to get back on track consistent with your obligations—and with the least amount of risk.
- Maybe you work in a toxic environment and are worried about how to extricate yourself. You wonder: How do I leave my law firm? You need a law firm exit strategy that can avoid any negative professional consequences. You may wonder if you have any reporting obligations. You want to act consistent with your legal obligations and do what is best for your long-term career.
- You may have an adversary who does not believe that the high road is the only road. That’s unfortunate—and all too common. You need an ethics lawyer to help you navigate dealing with the situation.
