Ethics, the Press and your Practice: Getting out there without getting into trouble

Sponsored by Bloomberg

Getting press coverage can give your practice an edge in today’s competitive market — but engaging with the press can be risky.

For attorneys looking to elevate their profile and influence public opinion on a specific matter or case, partnering with the press can provide real benefits. However, as seasoned practitioners and communications industry experts know, there are very specific rules of engagement for attorneys who speak to the press and failing to follow them can cause damage to the attorney, client, and ultimately the case. Even inadvertent mistakes can leave an attorney open to risks from ethics violations to defamation.

Expert panelists discuss:

•    ABA Model Rules of Conduct

•    Answering press inquiries

•    Pitfalls to avoid
