Annual Charlotte Ethics Program | Electronic Era Ethics

McGuireWoods invites you and your colleagues to join Tom Spahn for the annual Charlotte ethics program. This interactive discussion uses hypotheticals to highlight the dramatic effect that email, texts and other electronic communications can have on lawyers’ ethics duties.

The program follows the lifespan of an attorney-client relationship, examining the ethical implications of potential scenarios along the way:

• Creation of the relationship

• Ethical propriety of electronic communications with clients

• Communications with adversaries

• Dealing with third parties

• Discovery

• Jurors’ research and communications

• Judges’ research and “friending” of lawyers

• Termination of attorney-client relationships
