Why Attend?
- Review Rule 4.2 of the Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct relating to communication with represented parties
- Examine how the rule governs conduct specific to employment law scenarios
- Get your two hours of Ethics credit!
This program is an encore presentation and expansion of the Annual Employment Law Update ethics session entitled “Ethical Challenges in Communicating with Represented Parties,” originally presented in May 2023.
In this two-hour interactive seminar with hypotheticals, experienced employment law attorneys John E. Davidson and Edward Lee Isler will present the one-hour session from the Annual Employment Law Update ethics session again. Then they will present an additional hour covering the ethical dilemmas that arise in employment litigation in trying to comply with Rule 4.2 of the Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct, which prohibits communication with a represented person. Issues include contacting former employees of the defendant employer, concerns that settlement offers are not being conveyed, and much more. This is a unique opportunity to explore Rule 4.2 as it relates to specific employment law scenarios.
MCLE Credit Note: If you participated in the 2023 Annual Employment Law Update ethics session, you will only be able to receive one additional hour of credit if you participate in this program.
