Conflicts of interest remain among the most common sources of legal malpractice claims and disciplinary actions. This comprehensive two-part program transforms conflict analysis from guesswork into systematic risk management through practical frameworks and real-world scenarios. Attorneys will develop the skills to identify, evaluate, and properly handle conflicts before they become career-threatening problems.

Part 1:

• Apply systematic conflict-checking procedures and documentation requirements
• Understand when conflicts are consentable versus absolutely prohibited
• Master client consent processes and required disclosures
• Learn to identify conflicts in transactional versus litigation contexts
• Develop intake procedures that catch conflicts before engagement

Part 2:

• Handle conflicts that arise during ongoing representations
• Navigate conflicts between current and former clients
• Understand imputation rules and their impact on law firm operations
• Develop firm-wide policies for conflict prevention and management
• Learn remedial measures when conflicts are discovered after engagement
