ETHICS: PITFALLS IN SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS
Habib Nasrullah (Wheeler Trigg O’Donnell; Denver, CO) presents at The Network of Trial Law Firms' Litigation Management CLE SuperCourse: Ethical issues are frequently encountered in settlement negotiations including constraints on communicating with the other side and the associated boundaries, including, discussions of the limits of settlement authority and case weaknesses. Trial lawyer Habib Nasrullah will analyze the various ethical opinions impacting terms sometimes considered such as bars on plaintiff lawyers bringing similar cases or inquiring about intentions to bring similar cases, the retention of the settling plaintiff lawyers to create conflicts and putative prohibitions on the opposing lawyer revealing information learned in connection with the representation of the settling client.
