We advise lawyers, law firms, and corporate legal departments on legal ethics, compliance, attorney disciplinary matters, and professional liability issues.
Ethics and compliance questions arise in all facets of legal practice. Conflicts of interest, disciplinary inquiries, client confidentiality concerns, attorney advertising issues, and data security incidents raise important questions about professional responsibilities for attorneys, law firms, and in-house legal departments. Addressing these matters requires careful judgment informed by an understanding of the Rules of Professional Conduct, applicable regulations, and practical experience.
Our team includes lawyers with leadership roles in state bar associations and on ethics committees, including an incoming President of the New Jersey State Bar Association and the current President of the Trial Attorneys of New Jersey. Our lawyers have served in law firm leadership positions, and have substantial trial and appellate experience, including arguments before the New Jersey Supreme Court on matters of importance to all attorneys. That experience informs the practical insight we provide. Our counsel focuses on compliance with applicable Rules of Professional Conduct, rules of court, regulatory and statutory requirements, pragmatic steps to address issues, and risk-management practices aligned with ethical obligations and professional standards.
