Avoid an ethics “aca”tasrophe when getting your “pitch” to potential clients. You too can “crush it” if you know the professional rules related to advertising, referrals, and use of social media to “pitch” your services or experience.
This program will review the evolution of ethical rules addressing attorney advertising and the current professional rules important for attorney marketing, highlighting still significant variation in state versions of the pertinent ABA Model Rules.
With a “Pitch Perfect” theme, the panel will review specific examples and ask the audience to decide if the examples are “real” or “not real” (drawn from actual cases or headlines or constructed hypotheticals) and then discusses applicable rules and guidance:
- Titles and firm names
- “Specialties” and “expertise”
- Accolades
- Past results
- Comparisons
- Jurisdictional limits
- Depictions
- Testimonials & endorsements
- Websites
- Filing and retention requirements
- Blogs, podcasts, and other social media
- Referral fees and fee-sharing
- Solicitation and labeling requirements
- Political contributions
