Overview

Seven Places the Rules Get Tested in PI Practice

Personal injury practice sits at the intersection of human suffering, high stakes, and contingency money - a combination that creates ethical pressure at every turn. This program focuses on ethical fault lines that generate bar complaints, malpractice claims, and disbarment proceedings each year. Leave with a clearer sense of where the lines are and know what to do next time you're faced with an ethical dilemma - register today!

  • Navigate the conflict patterns most common in PI practice.
  • Identify what must be in a compliant contingency fee agreement.
  • Apply the communication obligations that most PI lawyers underestimate.
  • Determine the specific ways attorney financial interest can distort settlement counseling.
  • Identify where aggressive PI advocacy ends and where candor obligations begin.
  • Maintain a compliant trust account under the specific pressures of PI practice.
