Closing a File: Communicating, Destructing, and Purging While Maintaining Confidentiality

 

Walk away with a comprehensive understanding on how to close a client file while maintaining confidentiality.

Closing a client file is often governed by professional and ethical rules governing attorneys conduct, and the manner of destruction by state and/or federal law. Learn about the different communications that should be relayed to clients depending on the type of representation and the reason for the end of the representation. Become aware of the various types of law you should be aware of that may be relevant to protecting confidentiality and destroying client files. Recognize the special considerations regarding retention and destruction required depending on the type of document in the file.
