Description

Email has become essential to law practice. Communications with clients and colleagues is practically impossible – and absolutely inefficient – without email. But the ubiquity of email may obscure many important ethical issues that arise when it is used in law practice, including issues related to confidentiality, metadata, and the attorney-client privilege. These and other substantial ethical questions will be discussed in this practical guide to the ethical issues when lawyers use email in their practices.

•    Beginning an attorney relationship via email – intentionally and inadvertently 
•    Security and confidentiality when email is exchanged in the Cloud
•    Inadvertently sent email and metadata embedded in email
•    Discarding/deleting email and working with outside vendors
•    Ex parte communications with represented adversaries
•    Attorney-client privilege issues
