Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP attorney,
Hal R. Lieberman, will be a featured moderator at the 2012
LMRM Conference. The Conference will take place February 29 – March 2, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois, at The Westin Chicago River North. Mr. Lieberman will be moderating the topic, “The Interface of Discipline and Law Firm Risk Management," from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 1, 2012.
Legal malpractice claims have been a catalyst for risk management in law firms. Similar concerns underlie the need for law firms to implement measures to minimize the risk of ethical breaches, and the consequent risk of disciplinary action. The panelists include a senior disciplinary regulator and the former head of the Minnesota disciplinary system who now oversees risk management for a large, national law firm. They will engage in an interactive discussion, reviewing the case law concerning law firms’ ethical duties to supervise; ways in which state bar oversight and monitoring techniques (such as random audits) can be applied to risk management within a firm; and the need for law firms to educate their lawyers and employees as to ethical issues.
This panel is part of the Risk Management series of topics of the LMRM Conference.
Other Risk Management Topics include:
