Description

Of Counsel: Forms and Advice for Legal Practitioners 5th Edition Jean L Batman ISBN 9781641055062

The designation “Of Counsel” has historically encompassed a wide range of relationships between attorneys and law firms, most often referring to lawyers who are partially or fully retired. In today’s legal landscape, however, the term is applied in many different contexts, making it impossible to assign a single, definitive meaning.

This updated edition reflects changes in the Model Rules of Professional Conduct and provides practical guidance for attorneys and firms navigating “Of Counsel” arrangements. Highlights include:

  • New forms and checklists, including Term Sheets for negotiating specific “Of Counsel” agreements

  • Conflicts of Interest and Risk Management Questionnaire to safeguard both attorney and firm

  • Top Ten Tips for Staying Out of Trouble in an “Of Counsel” arrangement

Additionally, this edition has been reorganized so that each chapter functions as a self-contained module, complete with relevant rules and opinions, for easy reference and practical use by the practitioner. It is an indispensable resource for attorneys and firms seeking clarity and guidance on structuring, managing, and maintaining “Of Counsel” relationships.
