Attorneys bear responsibility not only to ensure they practice ethically but also for the ethical practice of attorneys they supervise.  Most commonly, this comes in the context of a partner supervising the work or an associate or junior partner, but those responsibilities also arise when in-house counsel supervises an outside attorney, any attorney supervises a paralegal, and when an attorney works with co-counsel from another firm.  Each of these fact patterns raises different ethical concerns and the specter of liability if the supervised attorney or non-attorney legal professional acts improperly. This program will provide you with a real-world guide to ethical issues when attorneys supervise the work of other attorneys and paralegals. 

• Attorney ethics in supervising and subordinate attorneys
• Standards for ensuring compliance by subordinate attorneys & and liability for when they act improperly
• Issues when in-house counsel supervision of outside counsel
• Ethics rules for associate attorneys who rely on decision-making of supervisory attorneys
• Special issues involved in billing the work of subordinate and co-counsel attorneys, and paralegals
• Ethical issues when supervising paralegals and other non-attorney personnel
