The Ethical Negotiator: Mediation, Confidentiality & Settlement Risks
March 18 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Ethical pitfalls in mediation and settlement negotiations can have lasting consequences for attorneys and their clients. This MCLE webinar brings together retired Judge and mediator Steve Austin, mediator and UC Law adjunct professor Debra Bogaards, and UC Law adjunct professor of negotiation John Dean to explore critical issues in legal ethics. Topics include confidentiality in mediation, ethical drafting of binding settlement agreements (including mediator’s proposals and global settlements), and the risks of coercive tactics. The discussion will also cover the evolving challenges of client confidentiality in the digital age, including cloud storage, AI, and the ethical responsibilities of supervising staff and vendors. Attendees will gain essential insights into navigating ethical obligations while ensuring compliance with professional standards.
