Managing Conflict of Interest Situations

Conflicts of interest can be potential or actual, obvious or hidden, anticipated or unexpected, direct
or imputed. Conflicts of interest can surface before the lawyer is retained or sometime during the retainer. This booklet (Download PDF) will show how to better manage this risk by identifying, checking for and managing conflict of interest situations.
