Breakout 2E | You SHALL remain silent... except- The do's and don'ts for when the estate planner becomes a witness (or defendant) (qualifies for 1.0 ethics hour)


Our duty to protect the attorney-client privilege is paramount. But what happens when your communications with your client becomes key evidence in litigation? This seminar addresses the ethics rules regarding when and how an attorney can disclose otherwise privileged attorney-client communications. We will focus on real world scenarios when the attorney receives a subpoena (or worse, is sued), privilege and what lawyers can do to be prepared for when/if that happens.
