General practitioners are always in the fast lane, dabbling in multiple practice areas, jumping from case to case and struggling to stay on top of changes in the law. They are quite literally always on the go, running to client consultations, court appearances, and depositions. The one constant is the expectations of each client: general practitioners are expected to know and understand every new development that may impact an open case.
In this excerpt from PBI’s 2010 General Practitioners’ Update, our panelists look at what happens when the attorney-client relationship breaks down. They focus on recent court decisions addressing issues such as conflicts of interest, certificate of merit rules, criminal malpractice, disqualification and more.
PBI’s General Practitioners’ Update is a partner in practice like no other partner: it is your reliable source each year for concentrated updates in six practice areas. When there is no time for research, compiling and digging, there’s the General Practitioners’ Update. Visit PBI’s Online Campus for other courses from the 2010 Update on Estate Law.
