Clients want their matter dealt with efficiently, expeditiously and in a cost effective manner. This session looks at what to do when this takes an unethical turn with an improper or unreasonable client request, including:

Duty of practitioner to comply with instructions – practical constraint

Establishing your ethical credentials early in the solicitor / client relationship
-
Identifying the ethical problem in client instructions – dealing with it early

Communicating the ethical option – reeducating the client
-
When the client instructs you not to disclose in a property matter and how to respond
-
Balancing duty of care to court with duty to client – the duty not to mislead the court
-
Learning how to say ‘no’ with emphasis but not bounce
-
Ditching the client – ethics in severing contact
-
Case study – Unreasonable client demands in parenting matters and family relocation
