Marshall Cole of Nemecek & Cole provides a practical, straightforward guide to drafting fee agreements that truly protect the attorney. The program covers the essential clauses, ethical requirements, and risk-management strategies that keep lawyers out of fee disputes and disciplinary trouble, while highlighting the recurring pitfalls that undermine enforceability. Attorneys will learn how to tighten their agreements, avoid ambiguity, and structure terms that reduce exposure from the outset.

The Ethics & Legal Malpractice Law Section is chaired by Michael C. Douglass.
