Ethics & Professional Responsibility
Costs Disclosure: When to do it, How to do it, and What Happens to Your Boss if you Don’t
The Legal Professional Uniform Law introduced subtle changes to solicitors' disclosure requirements. An employed solicitor’s failure to comply can cause unreasonably disproportionate adverse effects on a law firm’s cash flow and its owners’ ethical standing. This seminar will equip you with a detailed understanding of dangerous traps that inattentive solicitors may fall into, and introduce you to solutions you can put into action immediately. You can turn regulatory compliance from a burden into a valuable point of differentiation that gives you an edge over your competitors, whether you are a 30-year veteran or just starting your career.
