Description: This teleconference will include a practical discussion of how bond counsel can be exposed to potential professional liability. The panel will focus on conflicts of interest, the necessity and benefits of utilizing an engagement letter and other Model Rules that bond counsel need to consider in any engagement. Through interactive discussion and case studies, the panel will illustrate conflict scenarios, whether the conflicts can be waived, and the process of waiving a conflict of interest. The panelists will also discuss and employ hypotheticals to explain what should be included in an engagement letter and will review the NABL Model Engagement Letter. The teleconference will also include a malpractice insurance representative from Attorneys’ Liability Insurance Society (ALAS) to give a unique perspective on liability scenarios. The panelists will also discuss the expanding role of bond counsel and how that expanding role can impact professional exposure and loss prevention. Additional topics of client confidentiality and data security and how breaches in a firm’s network can expose you to professional liability will be covered.
