Experienced counsel and representation for lawyers on matters involving legal ethics and the law of lawyering.
Litigation Consultation
Litigation does not just involve attorneys as attorneys but often attorneys as clients.
Attorneys subject to criminal prosecution face licensing consequences that affect decisions in their criminal case. Attorneys, who are involved in civil litigation as parties, face questions regarding the application of the law of lawyering to their cases, sometimes in the context of business disputes with other attorneys.
Unfair business competition, trademark and copyright disputes, interference with contract and other business torts, libel and defamation case are some of the areas where an understanding of the law of lawyering and the psychology of lawyers can confer advantage.
Disputes involving lawyers, not surprisingly, are some the most hard fought litigation that there are. Lawyers as parties sometimes make the mistake of thinking that they can effectively represent themselves in assessing a claim or defending one; in fact, lawyers are just as encumbered as any other client in objectively assessing their circumstances.
