Program Summary

Paralegals specializing in personal injury face numerous challenges in litigation and client handling. Continuously balancing multiple tasks, it's crucial for paralegals to ensure they aren't the cause of case dismissals or malpractice claims against lawyers. Familiarizing oneself with the relevant professional conduct guidelines can assist in managing cases both efficiently and ethically. This seminar aims to educate or refresh participants on the primary ethical guidelines that result in malpractice claims in personal injury proceedings.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Understand methods to keep clients updated and master efficient communication strategies
  • Delve into the guidelines of confidentiality and common missteps
  • Grasp the intricacies of fee setting and collection
  • Examine conflict of interest regulations 1.7-1.10 and strategies to prevent typical errors
  • Acquire strategies for managing challenging clients and opposing lawyers
  • Explore the significance of maintaining civility with everyone engaged in litigation
