“How Not to be the Cautionary Tale: Everyday Ethics for Tennessee Lawyers”
Presented by AIM Vice President – Underwriting, Ben Parks, Esq.
Ethics problems rarely begin with a lawyer setting out to violate the rules. More often they develop from everyday decisions involving clients, conflicts, communication, and the pressures of practice.
Ben will share some of the memorable - and sometimes unbelievable - ways lawyers have gotten themselves in ethical trouble. And then we will look at the more mundane ways Tennessee lawyers find themselves in ethical dilemmas. Ben will also provide some practical steps to avoid becoming the next cautionary tale.
