Summary
From mobile apps to cryptocurrency, the ways clients want to pay for legal services are rapidly evolving. But not every new payment method fits neatly within the Rules of Professional Conduct. Join attorney Ryan Little, Little Legal, as he examines the ethical considerations lawyers face when accepting digital payments, peer-to-peer transfers, or cryptocurrency. This program will explore topics include safeguarding client funds, compliance with trust-accounting rules, avoiding impermissible fee-sharing, and navigating confidentiality, and security risks. Attendees will gain practical guidance on how to meet client expectations regarding modern payment options while staying squarely within the ethical rules.
