This program is based on a practical transactional scenario involving, inter alia: the formation of a small business entity, real estate transactions, and leasing issues. The materials and interactive discussion will involve the best practices and the relevant Rules of Professional Conduct when using “forms” such as the Retainer, Conflict Waivers, By-Laws, Broker, and Loan Agreements. Some of the ethical issues to be discussed are conflicts, competence, scope of representation, diligence, communication, client confidences, legal fees, record keeping, and reporting misconduct.
