However, new reporting obligations, the remote and hybrid work setup, and the ongoing pandemic have caused dramatic shifts in the legal ethics landscape.

Listen as a panel of distinguished legal practitioners organized by The Knowledge Group provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of current trends and developments surrounding the ethical practice of law and the unique ethical obligations and challenges facing lawyers today.
