About the Seminar - Computer Based Audio ONLY programs (No Video) - DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR CLE BIG TICKET
Representing two or more clients in a business or commercial transaction is full of potential ethical traps. It's essential that clients understand the potential for conflicts of interest, how confidential information is shared among the joint clients, how negotiating strategies may be altered because of the joint representation, and the real risk to the transaction if the clients eventually develop unresolvable disputes among themselves. Counseling clients about information flows and obtaining a written waiver of conflicts from all clients are essential first steps but not the end of the process. This program will provide you with a real world guide to representing two or more clients in a business or commercial transaction.

-Counseling clients about sharing of confidential information - and its implications
-Negotiation ethics when representing multiple clients
