Neil Wertlieb spoke about the new Rules of Professional Responsibility and some new case law that concerns obligations owed to clients including the new California Supreme Court decision in Shepard Mullin v. J-M Manufacturing. This was a valuable program for both in-house lawyers and outside counsel.
