Establishing Professional Relationships: Contract, Of Counsel & Co-Counsel Legal Services
This 1 1/2 hour CLE program will provide guidance to solo and small law firm owners on creating contract, of counsel and co-counsel professional relationships, both as an attorney offering legal services and the engaging law firm.
- Speakers will cover matters both parties should address when contemplating such relationships, including economic considerations, compliance with Rules of Professional Responsibility, and situations that could give rise to malpractice claims.
- This session will also outline how to ensure the provision of legal services is not later deemed an employer/employee relationship – and the consequences from the failure to create or maintain a contractual relationship.
- Course materials will include sample agreements and provisions and reference checklists.
- Application pending for 2 general and 1 ethics CLE credits. Program will be recorded and available afterward for home study CLE credit.
