Ethical judgment sits at the core of competent legal practice. Legal practitioners must be able to recognise when ethical tensions emerge and to understand how everyday legal advice can give rise to professional risk.

Drawing on real-life examples, this seminar examines the ethical challenges that arise within the lawyer–client relationship and in the delivery of legal advice.

This seminar will explore both well-established obligations and evolving risk areas confronting practitioners, including:

  • Identifying when ethical issues arise in the provision of legal advice, including common grey areas.
  • The professional and practical consequences of advice that falls short of ethical standards.
  • Responding to a potential ethical breach, including steps to take where clients or colleagues may be affected.
  • Practical risk-management strategies to support ethical decision-making throughout your career.

This seminar will assist you to identify ethical issues at an early stage to better protect your clients, your reputation, and to reduce the risk of complaints or disciplinary action
