Lawyers Mutual Practice Reimagined Keeps Your Firm in the Know


Do you subscribe to the newsletter that brings expertly curated tips on running your law office straight to your inbox each month?

Lawyers Mutual Practice Reimagined – “A digest of news and resources for evolving law practices” – is delivered by email monthly.

Here’s an excerpt from the leadoff link of a recent issue of Lawyers Mutual Practice Reimagined:

“I recently returned from the annual Clio conference, at which it released its 2022 Legal Trends Study,” says CLIO and ABA Recent Surveys: A Tale of Two Studies by Stephen Embry. “The survey of Clio lawyer-customers and others comes out every year. In addition, ABA Practice Forward released its own survey of some 2000 members. The two Surveys are interesting both because they offer a look at the post-pandemic (we hope) world and because the findings are in many ways similar.”

The latest Practice Reimagined also featured a link to an article by NC State Bar lawyer Suzanne Lever on the ethical duties that arise when a client dies. An excerpt:

“Lawyers are the agents of their clients and when the client dies, the lawyer-client relationship ends. As a matter of agency law, the lawyer’s authority to act for the client terminates at the client’s death. The rights of the deceased client relating to the lawyer’s representation may pass to other persons who can, if they wish, continue the representation.”

Everyone makes mistakes. When it happens to you, Lawyers Mutual has your back.
