• Ethical issues in disputes with clients in litigation and in transactions
• Sources of disputes - attorneys' fees, communication, course or outcome of representation, conflicts of interest
• Confidentiality and self-defense - what can/cannot attorneys do to defend themselves against ethics charges?
• Techniques to prevent disputes when the attorney-client relationship begins, including waiver of conflicts and well-drafted engagement letters
• Resolving disputes before they result in ethics complaints or malpractice charges, including withdrawals from a case
• Relationship of ethics claims to malpractice lawsuits and best practices to mitigate damages
