Between a Hard Place and a Hard Place

- The legislative framework;
- Communication with the court and your opponent;
- The duty of confidentiality and the inadvertent disclosure of confidential information;
- Conduct when engaging expert witnesses; and
- Dealing with challenging clients (delinquency and incapacity).
