This program was originally presented at our 2023 MOSOLO Small Firm Conference, June 8-10, 2023
This program will identify common malpractice missteps lawyers make and discuss practical ways each misstep can be avoided. Participants will learn how problems can arise from a variety of file documentation missteps, where conflict of interest traps lie, and why redundant calendaring systems can lead to a false sense of security just for starters.
