Fee Agreement Workshop: Supreme Court Rules & Recommendations 2023
Advice you can agree with
When is the last time you updated your fee agreements? Maybe you inherited them from another lawyer or firm, or maybe you’ve been recycling the same fee agreement language for years. But using outdated fee agreements may be more than unfashionable – some older fee provisions may be ethically prohibited. And with new trust account rules effective July 1, 2023, now is a good time to revisit your fee agreements to ensure you’re in compliance with your professional responsibilities.
At Fee Agreement Workshop: Supreme Court Rules & Recommendations 2023, State Bar of Wisconsin Ethics Counsel Aviva Meridian Kaiser and Law Practice Assistance Manager Christopher C. Shattuck will go over the Supreme Court Rules on fee agreements and offer guidance on avoiding common mistakes that might land you in hot water. They’ll also go over common provisions in a variety of fee agreements and explain best practices for updating existing agreements or implementing new ones.
