The Lawyer's Role and Duties Out of Stock

 

Co-sponsored by the Financial Institutions Subsection, Colorado Bar Association Business Law Section

 

A prospective client walks into your office seeking to retain your firm for legal services. But something doesn’t feel right- you can’t help but wonder if this person is hoping to use your legal services to further a fraudulent or criminal scheme. What should you do? Cecil Morris will walk us through the relevant rules and CBA and ABA ethics opinions, and let us know when your failure to ask further questions might land you in hot water if the client does end up using your services to commit a crime or fraud.
 
 
CBA-CLE will email webinar access information 24-48 hours before the program.
 
Home studies will be available 2-3 weeks following the live program.
 
CBA-CLE is committed to providing access, equal opportunity, and reasonable accommodation in its services, programs, and employment. To request an accommodation please contact [email protected] at least 14 business days in advance.
 
The program is accredited in Colorado. CBA-CLE staff can provide a Uniform Certificate of Attendance, and it is the attendee's responsibility to complete the accreditation outside of Colorado.
