Whether you’re a well-seasoned attorney or fresh from passing the Bar, it’s no secret that the success of your practice depends on ethically generating business and cultivating client relationships. In this session, you’ll uncover how to design a modern business development strategy while maintaining the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Real case examples presented by lawyers who’ve been in the trenches representing other lawyers for violating Model Rules 5 & 7, will demonstrate how to navigate common landmines that often end up with a Bar complaint. You’ll walk away with an innovative arsenal of business generating tools that you can immediately begin to implement without landing yourself in front of the disciplinary board.
