In June 2022, an Amtrak train carrying 200 passengers derailed in Missouri. Less than four hours later, attorney webpages geared toward crash victims and their families were popping up, and in less than 24 hours, law firms were announcing retained clients and new lawsuits. Stories like this illustrate how the modern legal marketplace often has lawyers racing against the clock, and each other, to sustain their practices with new clients.

In less than one week, Micah Buchdahl, experienced ethics counsel, legal marketing consultant, and President of HTMLawyers, will explore some of the ethical issues lawyers face in today’s rapid legal marketing landscape. Keep reading this post for more details.

The Presentation

Fast-Mover Advantage: Law Marketing Ethics Issues in a Race for Clients discusses some of the issues law firms face as they compete in a fast-moving marketplace governed by Rules of Professional Conduct that vary between the states, both in the letter of the regulation and the spirit of enforcement. Topics covered will include:

• Bates v. Arizona
• Virtual Law Practice
• Advertising Ethics Issues
• The Unauthorized Practice of Law
• Content Marketing Concerns
• Social Media
• And more!

The course begins promptly at 11:00 a.m. PT on Wednesday, March 15, 2023. As an exclusive Justia Connect Pro benefit, California CLE credit is also available for attendance at this presentation.
