Wood Smith Henning and Berman is pleased to announce that partner Frances O'Meara will present at an upcoming webinar in conjunction with the Claims and Litigation Management (CLM) Alliance's webinar series. The presentation will take place on October 10, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. and will address the impact of unethical legal conduct on the profession and the resulting changes to ethical rules and obligations.
O'Meara will lead the discussion along with fellow thought leader David Robles, Vice President, of Allied World Assurance Company. The presentation will examine how high-profile cases, such as those involving Tom Girardi and attorneys who represented former President Donald Trump, have spurred new regulations by state bars and judicial bodies. The webinar will delve into recent ethical reforms and explore how badly behaving lawyers have historically prompted stricter oversight and obligations within the legal profession.
"Recent legal scandals have raised critical questions about the integrity of our profession," O'Meara stated. "This webinar will offer a timely analysis of how these events are shaping new ethical rules and administrative oversight,"
