Gain an understanding of how to handle the ethical issues that can arise in a joint representation.
This topic helps lawyers understand when and how joint representation can greatly advantage clients, and the ethical obligations that accompany undertaking joint representations. The material explains how to address conflicts of interest, including how to make adequate disclosures to ensure that the client consent to joint representation is enforceable, and to avoid the potential for disqualification. In addition, failing to understand the issues that arise around lawyer-client communications in the joint representation context can create myriad issues for lawyers; this topic will assist lawyers in understanding their duties and obligations as they relate to confidential communications with and between joint clients. This information is critical for lawyers who regularly represent multiple clients simultaneously, to ensure that the lawyer complies with all applicable ethical obligations.
