Avoiding Ethical Pitfalls as the Practice of Law Evolves
Lawyers learned new ways to communicate and work remotely during the pandemic, embracing innovation and technology as never before. Without doubt, the legal profession has evolved – and many changes are likely to become permanent. As law firms reopen but likely will retain work-from-home options in a “new normal,” it is becoming clear that we have learned a lot from the pandemic. We certainly learned that pandemics—like any other emergency or disruptor—must be anticipated and planned for. We also got painful reminders about how critical cybersecurity is, as many law firms were struck by ransomware or other cyber-attacks and confidential data was compromised.
There are many ethical lessons to be learned from the pandemic. In this webinar, we will explore some of these lessons, discussing competency, emergency planning, communications with clients and third parties, proficiency with law related technologies, confidentiality, supervision of lawyers and non-lawyer personnel, professionalism, a lawyer’s duties following a data breach, lawyer wellness and ethical implications when working remotely. It is a good time to look at legal ethics anew in the wake of the pandemic as we move into a “new normal."
NOTE: You will not receive credit for this online course if you attended the live program. The MCLE Department of the Virginia State Bar requires that all distance learning courses are to be done in an educational setting, free from distractions.
