Virtual Law Office? Ethics still apply.

Law firms looking to perform services online still need to pay careful attention to the rules of professional conduct. The ABA gives a few minimum guidelines:

  1. You must still establish an attorney-client relationship before representation.
  2. Terms and Conditions should be published on the public portion of the firm’s website.
  3. Clients must be residents of the state in which your firm is authorized to practice.
  4. Clients should have access to a fully secure web account to ensure confidentiality.

This is by no means an exhaustive list. If you’re interested in “going virtual”, contact our office for more information.
