About This Course

Technology, like most advances, can be a blessing and a curse. With the greater speed and efficiency that today’s technology offers industries, including practicing attorneys, comes the expectation for on-demand service, constant communication, and a greater number of potential malpractice and ethical violations. This informative and timely CLE course, presented by legal malpractice attorney Jefferey O. Katz and his colleague Eric J. Chisolm, will explore the various pitfalls advanced technology and modes of communication as well as how they can be used to minimize risk. The course will review marketing strategies, duties and obligations of referring attorneys, and the rules for investing in litigation. Ethical obligations when representing third party defendants and the impact of universal categories to classify professional distinctions—what the presenter refers to as “super duper duper lawyers,” will all be discussed.
