We all deal with conflict in our personal and professional lives. As in house counsel, we are expected to provide guidance and assistance with conflict resolution across our organizations. During this presentation, trial attorney Caitlin Jones will discuss conflict avoidance and the litigation stemming from Rule 1.13 and the client-lawyer relationship. She will provide you with practical tips for maintaining your duty of loyalty when conflict arises among your team, between parent and subsidiary, or within your Board and C-Suite. She will discuss how the attorney should act when the employee acting for the business proposes to act contrary to the best interests of the organization. She will also provide insight into dealing with organizational conflict and avoiding both malpractice and ethical liability stemming from conflicts of interest. She will conclude with some best practices to help you deal with intra-company conflicts.
