Fully Satisfy your New Jersey & New York MCLE Ethics Requirement!
More than half of New Jersey attorneys in private practice are either solo practitioners or practice with between two and five other attorneys. Practicing on your own or in a small law firm presents unique time and resource challenges including establishing an office, creating effective management, recordkeeping, practice and accounting systems, and attracting clients.
All of these challenges, if not properly managed, can lead to unique ethics issues if not properly handled. Sometimes, the issues are obvious, but more often than not they are much more complex and not entirely clear. Understanding how to handle situations when they occur, or better yet to avoid them in the first place, can save you time, money, and in some cases, your practice!
