To whom do you as a lawyer owe duties? In some cases you may have more clients on a particular matter than you thought and in others you may have duties to persons who are not your clients. The recent case of Thorsen v. RSPCA addressed some of these issues when it held that a drafting lawyer of a will was liable to a will beneficiary for drafting errors. This presentation addresses both the ethical and liability issues of the duties of lawyers to third parties and persons whom the lawyer might not immediately identify as the lawyer’s clients.
