Flaster/Greenberg shareholder and nationally recognized family law attorney Steven B. Sacharow has been tapped by the New Jersey Institute of Continuing Legal Education (NJICLE) to participate as a panelist at the “Ethics for Family Lawyers” seminar on December 14, 2013. This fast-paced panel discussion will explore the common and frequent ethical problems that arise in family practice and will provide practical solutions for addressing them.

 

Panelists will share their considerable family law experience on how to avoid ethical pitfalls in this complex area of law. Topics include: client relations; structuring your office practice to avoid conflicts of interest; ethical issues regarding child custody; handling client funds; client “secrets” and the duty of candor toward the tribunal; fee agreements; the limits of zealous advocacy; civility between counsel; and terminating a relationship with a client.
