With the assistance of the mediator, your client and the opposing party have agreed on “a number” to resolve the dispute. But the ethical landmines are far from over. Join us to unravel the challenges that arise in structuring, drafting and otherwise concluding settlement. Our expert panel will explore:

• When creative structuring of a settlement crosses the line into dishonesty and even fraud
• Ensuring you are not providing tax and other advice beyond your expertise
• How to navigate client competency concerns, after a long and emotional mediation
• What are your obligations when the other party is unrepresented?
• Getting paid: ethical issues
• And other hurdles to overcome before the Settlement Agreement is signed
