SUMMARY:Plaintiff Lawyer Ethics in Planning Settlements
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 25\, 12:30 PM on Zoom. \nPlaintiff lawyers’ first goal is to maximize client recovery. But the true recovery is what a client keeps after fees\, taxes\, and liens\, and any loss to public benefits. Plaintiffs have significant power to affect these variables\, but not after settlement. Expert presenters will discuss what trial lawyers need to know to spot these types of risks and opportunities\, and the extent of their ethical duties to do so. They’ll also discuss opportunities to volunteer with the Plaintiff Fund Charity\, which supports and protects plaintiffs raising money for their medical care. \nJoin at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87993804812. \nCo-Hosted by Harvard Law Mock Trial Association\, National Plaintiffs’ Law Association\, and HPLA.
