Join us in September for a comprehensive webinar on risk and professional standards. This webinar is designed for all legal professionals seeking advice on the best practice for upholding professional standards in order to mitigate risks in their day-to-day practice.

Upholding high professional standards is essential to protect your clients’ rights and interests, and it fosters trust and confidence in the integrity of the legal system. This webinar will examine the ethical considerations underlying professional standards and discuss these in relation to common legal practices.

• Examine the concept of “lawful but awful” practices which undermine professional standards
