I’m excited to announce two exciting events coming soon — our annual Bench Bar Media event takes place on August 9th and our New Lawyer Forum’s Prohibition-themed party on August 17th. Our Bench Bar Media event will focus on the “Fake News” phenomenon where an expert panel will talk about how fake news is having a significant effect in the media, our community and our courts. Save the date and reserve your spot here. And, come join the party — the New Lawyer Forum’s Prohibition party is open to all members, and will take place at Luce Loft. Immerse yourself in a night of jazz music, craft libations, and delicious cuisine. Learn more and get your tickets at www.sdcba.org/prohibition.
It was great to see so many of our members last week at one (or both) of our Summer Socials, where we celebrated summer with food, drink, music and mingling with friends. And thank you to our members who showed your pride and marched with us at the Pride Parade over the weekend.
Ethical Departures: Obligations to Clients When Attorneys Change Firms
Years ago, attorney mobility referred to an attorney’s rise in the firm’s ranks from law clerk to associate, to junior partner, to equity partner. Today attorney mobility refers to the ritual of attorneys changing firms on a regular basis to improve one’s financial and equity status. When lawyers in today’s legal market decide to leave their current firms, this decision involves several ethical and professional considerations, but the primary focus must always be on the client’s best interest.
