There are a number of ethical issues that can arise in the practice of personal injury and insurance related litigation that plaintiff and defence counsel need to be aware of and prepared to address. What do you do when you suspect deception? How do you deal with a difficult or uncooperative client?  What is your role when your clients don't agree on how much everyone is entitled to when there is a settlement?  Hear from experienced counsel about the potential implications for both counsel and clients and gain practical solutions for dealing with and avoiding conflicts of interest.
