Description: The pace of everyday events can leave attorneys with little time to reflect upon the ethical issues surrounding the information they send and receive. While many of the communications meetings, video conferences, phone calls, e-mails, text messages, faxes, more e-mails, etc. are routine, others can have significant legal consequences, for example, in a high-stakes contract negotiation, a sensitive internal investigation, or a bet-the-company litigation.
Drawing on the experiences of both in-house and outside counsel, this program is a must for all attorneys. Join popular presenter Matt Rita, a partner at Ford & Harrison LLP, as he helps spot recurring ethical issues in communications and frames them in the context of the rules of professional responsibility. The topics covered include identifying (and remembering) the client in a contentious corporate setting, responding to requests for "off-the-record" advice, hitting "Reply All" when dealing with both represented and unrepresented parties, social networking with actual or potential witnesses, and navigating between the overlapping realms of in-house legal departments and compliance groups.
Matthew J. Rita, Esq. is a partner in the law firm of Ford & Harrison LLP, resident in its Denver office. While his primary practice area is complex commercial litigation at both the trial and appellate levels, with substantial experience in the employment law arena, he also provides substantive legal advice and counseling on an ongoing basis. Mr. Rita strives to keep clients apprised of developments in the law, both informally and through publications and presentations, including his article last fall entitled "Family Responsibilities Discrimination: An Evolving Theory Under Federal Law," and his national web casts with Celesq® AttorneysEd Center.
