Navigating conflicts of interest and everyday ethical challenges is essential to protecting clients’ interests and reducing regulatory and liability risks. From initial client intake through the conclusion of the attorney-client relationship, attorneys must recognize potential conflicts, understand their ethical obligations, and take appropriate steps to address competing interests.
