Panel Discussion on Ethical Issues for Sole and Small Firm Lawyers
Are you doing it all on your own? Ethical issues can be difficult for the sole or small firm lawyer to deal with since there may not be the opportunity or support to talk through the challenges. Our panelists will give real-world examples of ethical issues that have arisen in their practice with other panelists weighing in on how they would handle the problem. Finally, a lawyer from LSUC will give her thoughts on the dilemmas raised. • How to deal with conflicts of interest that arise when acting for more than one party in estates and property matters • What to do when a client is not forthcoming about a material issue in litigation.

Toronto Lawyers Association
For more than 135 years, the Toronto Lawyers' Association, located within the Courthouse Library, has represented the interests of lawyers practising in the City of Toronto. The association was founded to support its members in three key areas: Knowledge, Advocacy, and Community. To uphold these pillars, the association offers a year-round mix of online and in-person education programs for lawyers, hosts both free and paid events to foster in-person networking, and submits advocacy pieces on behalf of its members to the Ontario bench and bar, all levels of government, and the broader public.
