This is a free webcast sponsored by IntApp.
The ABA recently modified Model Rule 1.10 to enable law firms to screen conflicted lateral hires without having to obtain client waivers. This issue triggered serious and vigorous debate across the legal community -- earlier attempts to modify these rules were tabled last year and rejected outright in 2002.
This webinar will explore recent confidentiality and screening trends and case law. Panelists will discuss the drivers behind the Rule 1.10 change and review the new screening enforcement, acknowledgment and notification duties it mandates. The session will also look more broadly at how firms are responding to these and other confidentiality requirements, and offer perspective on how the insurance industry evaluates firm compliance measures.
This Session Will Explore Topics Including:
-
History and drivers of the ABA Rule 1.10 Change
-
Defined screening enforcement, notification and tracking requirements
-
Adoption outlook and implications across jurisdictions
-
Insurance industry perspective on firm risk management response
