DESCRIPTION:ONLINE REGISTRATION INCLUDED BELOW\nCLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD A REGISTRATION FORM\n \nEvent Description \nThis one-hour CLE presentation will explore the growing challenges attorneys face in maintaining professional boundaries with clients in an always-connected world.

Lawyers must set boundaries regarding communication lest their mental health and well-being suffer.\nThe program will address practical strategies for managing communication expectations\, protecting confidentiality\, avoiding burnout\, and reducing risk related to after-hours contact and informal digital communications. Attendees will learn best practices for communication policies to create healthy and ethical attorney-client relationships. \nIn this program Mr. Mitsch will discuss: \n\nThe pressures of constant access and the potential ill effects on the attorney.\nThe effects of stress\, anxiety\, and substance use associated with the lack of boundaries.\nThe interplay of client communication with the Rules of Professional Conduct.\nThe resources available when the Lawyer’s mental health and well-being are challenged.\nThe free\, confidential services provided by Lawyers Assistance Programs.\n\nCREDIT(S): \n1.0 ETHICS CREDIT \nSPEAKER: \n \nGregory F.
