ON DEMAND: MCLE: Who’s the Client? Ethical Issues in Medical/Legal/Community Partnerships

Class recorded October 25, 2021

Medical Legal Community Partnerships (MLCPs) are legal service delivery models in which attorneys partner with health care providers to get referrals and provide representation to clients on a variety of legal issues. The models vary from virtual systems to on-site clinic-based partnerships. Each setting gives rise to different and challenging ethical considerations. In this training, MLCP lawyers will discuss those considerations, including how to maintain client confidentiality and manage conflicts of interest while meeting health provider demands and project deliverables.
