  • 116 Ethical Considerations in the Dissolution of a Law Firm Or a Lawyer's Departure from A
    Formal Opinions Opinion 116 ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DISSOLUTION OF A LAW FIRM OR A LAWYER’S 116 DEPARTURE FROM A LAW FIRM Adopted March 17, 2007. Intoduction and Scope Many ethical issues arise in connection with the dissolution of a law firm or a lawyer’s departure or withdrawal from a firm. Such issues often arise in the context of determining who will represent partic- ular clients following the break-up. The departing lawyer and the responsible members of the firm with which the lawyer has been associated have ethical obligations to clients on whose legal matters they worked.1 These ethical obligations sometimes can be at odds with the business interests of the law firm or the departing lawyer. In such circumstances, all involved lawyers must hold the obligations to the client as paramount. The ethical considerations discussed in this opinion include the duty to keep the client reason- ably informed about the status of the legal matter and to explain a matter to the extent reasonably neces- sary to permit the client to make informed decisions regarding the representation, pursuant to Colo. RPC 1.4(a) and (b); the duty to provide competent representation to the client, pursuant to Colo. RPC 1.1; avoiding neglect of client matters because of a break-up, in violation of Colo. RPC 1.3; taking appropriate steps upon withdrawal from representation, in accordance with Colo. RPC 1.16(d); ensuring that any funds in which a client or a third party may claim an interest are maintained separate from the lawyers’ own property, in accordance with Colo.

The lawyer, whom I call "Nicholas Farber," offered to share these stories because he was troubled by many things that had happened at this law firm. He agreed to allow me to publish the stories only if neither he nor the firm would be identified, because some of the stories involve serious misconduct. Farber determined not to report the firm to the disciplinary authorities, but instead to recount some of what happened at his law firm so that these practic- es could become the subject of discussion and policy development.

  • When Can Law Firms and Lawyers Accept Stocks Or Stock Options for Services?
    When Can Law Firms and Lawyers Accept Stocks or Stock Options for Services? by: Sheldon I. Banoff With increasing frequency, lawyers and law firms are being asked (or are aggressively seeking) to take equity ownership in their clients. For example, stock or stock options may be received in lieu of all or a portion of the cash legal fees to be received. Alternatively, stock may be negotiated by the law firm as a "premium" for legal services, in addition to its regular cash legal fees. In another scenario, lawyers who serve as members of boards of directors of their clients may receive grants of stock, restricted stock and stock options, pursuant to the company's directors' incentive compensation program. Pursuant to their law firm agreements, such lawyer-directors may be obligated to turn over the equity (and/or the proceeds upon disposition of the equity) to the law firm. (These situations differ from law firms that invest in their clients on the same terms offered to certain other investors.) Questions In these stock-for-legal fees scenarios, a number of questions arise: • Are there legal constraints on law firms owning equity interests in various types of businesses? • Are there ethical constraints (pursuant to bar association opinions, state court rules or otherwise) which preclude lawyers from accepting stock for fees in certain situations? • Does the law firm face increased potential legal liability in a malpractice or negligence case? • How would a jury view a law firm defendant, where the firm has a substantial ownership interest in the client? • Do the law firm's professional liability insurance policies cover situations involving clients in which the firm also has a substantial economic interest? Firms that receive stock for services may find themselves holding the equity for the long term.

  • Central African Republic Mid-Term Implementation Assessment
    CCeennttrraall AAffrriiccaann RRee p puubblliicc MMiidd--tteerrmm IImmppllee mmeennttaattiioonn AAsssseessssmmeenntt Mid-term Implementation Assessment: Central African Republic Introduction 1. Purpose of the follow-up programme The second and subsequent cycles of the review should focus on, inter alia, the implementation of the accepted recommendations and the development of the human rights situation in the State under review. A/HRC/RES/16/21, 12 April 2011 (Annex I C § 6) The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process takes place every four and half years; however, some recommendations can be implemented immediately. In order to reduce this interval, we have created an update process to evaluate the human rights situation two years after the examination at the UPR. Broadly speaking, UPR Info seeks to ensure the respect of commitments made in the UPR, but also, more specifically, to give stakeholders the opportunity to share their opinion on the commitments. To this end, about two years after the review, UPR Info invites States, NGOs, and National Institutions for Human Rights (NHRI) to share their comments on the implementation (or lack thereof) of recommendations adopted at the Human Rights Council (HRC) plenary session. For this purpose, UPR Info publishes a Mid-term Implementation Assessment (MIA) including responses from each stakeholder. The MIA is meant to show how all stakeholders are disposed to follow through on, and implement their commitments. States should implement the recommendations that they have accepted, and civil society should monitor that implementation. While the follow-up’s importance has been highlighted by the HRC, no precise directives regarding the follow-up procedure have been set until now.

  • Recommended Courses
    Corporate and Securities Law For those interested in pursuing a practice in corporate and securities law, Professors Gulinello and Alden recommend the following courses: 2L: Fall: Spring: ● Business Organizations ● Securities Regulation ● Basic Federal Income Tax ● Business Tax Taking the foregoing recommended courses during the 2L year (along with the upper level UCC course covering ● Secured Transactions, which can be taken either 2L or 3L, as most convenient) will provide the core foundation of substantive knowledge for further work in the field, such as advanced capstone courses (e.g. Startups and Venture Capital Law, and Mergers and Acquisitions), the transactional clinic with Professor Wagner, and/or an externship with Professor Kinsley, as well as other advanced business law courses. More detailed descriptions of the foregoing courses and the reasons for their being recommended are set forth below. Absolutely Essential Courses: 1. ● Business Organizations Most operating businesses are conducted through corporate or LLC form, and most investment funds are organized as limited partnerships or LLCs. This course is an essential first or early step and should be considered a sine qua non for practice as a corporate and securities lawyer. Business Organizations and Securities Regulation are the two central courses at the heart of corporate and securities practice. 2. ● Securities Regulation As a general matter, all issuances of interests in corporations, partnerships and LLCs to passive investors (that is, most financing transactions, such as those involving the sale of stock, limited partnership interests and non-managing LLC membership interests) implicate the field of securities law, which is very heavily regulated and subject to severe potential civil and criminal penalties.

  • What Is the Best Money Spent with a Business Lawyer?
    What Is The Best Money Spent With A Business Lawyer? phillipskaiser.com What Is The Best Money Spent With A Business Lawyer? According to a survey of corporate legal departments, relationships were the most important factor in evaluating the hiring of outside legal counsel, followed by: • Proven results • Responsiveness • Efficiency • Flexible pricing • Transparency in billing • Specialization “ We hire lawyers, not law firms ” If these factors matter in the business of law regarding the hiring of outside legal counsel, I am confident these factors are equally or more important to business owners seeking a lawyer. Lee Change, Chief Litigation Officer of Newegg, Inc., said, “We hire lawyers, not law firms.” So indeed, it comes down to likability and results followed by a host of other important qualifications. phillipskaiser.com Is It Worth Paying $1,000 Per Hour For Attorneys? Business Insider says, “Like a sick person, a company facing litigation is willing to spend big bucks to get out of trouble. It’s entirely justifiable, and lawyers are only too happy to oblige, billing clients for every minute worked, and then some.” ... how about paying more than $1,000 for an hour of legal advice? As an attorney, it’s more common than you would think. An example is the business owner who was charged 26 hours for a single day. Or the legal bill that pretty much represented 52 all-nighters in a row! Or how about paying more than $1,000 for an hour of legal advice? Other dangers of attorneys spending your money include: • Double-billing • Trivial tasks • Padding hours • Expense accounts • Overhead • Exorbitant hourly rates At Phillips | Kaiser we believe there is a better way for affordable, accountable, and results-driven legal representation.

  • Corporate Lawyer
    Corporate lawyer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search A corporate lawyer is a lawyer who specializes in corporations law .[1] As of 2004, there were 67,000 corporate lawyers in the United States, working on average for 50 hours per week, with a mean starting salary of USD64,000, rising to USD93,700 after 5 years and USD139,000 after 10–15 years.[2] The role of a corporate lawyer is to ensure the legality of commercial transactions, advising corporations on their legal rights and duties, including the duties and responsibilities of corporate officers. In order to do this, they must have knowledge of aspects of contract law, tax law, accounting, securities law, bankruptcy, intellectual property rights, licensing, zoning laws, and the laws specific to the business of the corporations that they work for.[2][3] The practice of corporate law is less adversarial than that of trial law. Lawyers for both sides of a commercial transaction are less opponents than facilitators. One lawyer (quoted by Bernstein) characterizes them as "the handmaidens of the deal". Transactions take place amongst peers. There are rarely wronged parties, underdogs, or inequities in the financial means of the participants. Corporate lawyers structure those transactions, draft documents, review agreements, negotiate deals, and attend meetings.[2][3] What areas of corporate law a corporate lawyer experiences depend from where the firm that he/she works for is, geographically, and how large it is. A small-town corporate lawyer in a small firm may deal in many short-term jobs such as drafting wills, divorce settlements, and real estate transactions, whereas a corporate lawyer in a large city firm may spend many months devoted to negotiating a single business transaction.

The report was drafted by 8 and endorsed by 81 women’s and LGBTIQ organizations to outline the emerging issues related to violence against women and the defects and malpractices with regards to the implementation of the Convention. Under the coordination of Purple Roof Women’s Shelters Association, we first started to come together to share tasks and agree on the time plan in order to prepare the report till the end of May, which was the deadline for the submission of the state report. However, as we found out later, Turkey delayed the submission till July without informing the CSOs, thus we had to decide to proceed to draft the NGO report without seeing the state’s report.
