Fully Satisfy your New Jersey & New York MCLE Ethics Requirement!
Presented in cooperation with the NJSBA Certified Attorneys Section
NJICLE, in cooperation with CNA, will again present a special program to help New Jersey attorneys gain insight on how to avoid legal malpractice claims, and to save money on legal malpractice insurance premiums - including a 7.5% discount for CNA policyholders!
CNA, the leading legal malpractice insurer nationwide, continues to study its claims data to identify the most common causes of legal malpractice claims. Based on that study, this ethical and risk management seminar is about fundamentals: laying the ground work for a safer, more solid law practice no matter what area of practice an attorney pursues. Given that perspective the seminar will focus on the key ethical and risk management tools all lawyers can and should employ to manage risk across the board. This seminar will help attendees learn about the various building blocks of good risk control and good business management and how they can both give you and your firm the competitive edge.
The seminar will be presented by Thaddeus “Ted” Hubert, III, Esq. As one of CNA’s preferred counsel, Ted has defended many legal malpractice cases brought against CNA policyholders. During the past two decades, Ted has also presented many loss control seminars on behalf of CNA across the country, and has appeared as a keynote speaker at seminars for several State Bar Associations.
This seminar will cover many ethical & risk management topics aimed at protecting you and your clients, including…
• What client intake procedures can be established to identify and avoid problematic clients
• How to manage the professional duties arising from enterprise risks in our law practice
• How to identify and manage conflicts of interest in your practice to avoid breaching your ethical duties
• How to control your professional risks through the effective management of legal support staff
As an attendee you’ll receive detailed information about how to apply for the discounted CNA rates (up to 7.5%). Note: only those attorneys from your firm who attend will be eligible for a discount.
How this program will benefit you:
In addition to the valuable insight you will gain from the fact patterns and vignettes for discussion on avoiding legal malpractice claims, attendees will receive another major benefit - You will be eligible to receive a discount totaling up to 7.5% off your legal malpractice insurance premium for the next 2 years, either upon renewal of your existing CNA policy, or upon purchase of a new CNA policy. The more attorneys from your firm that attend the program, the more your firm will save! |
