Conflicts of Interest and Disqualifications

Responsible Advice for Ethical Issues in Legal Practice

In some cases, it is easy to recognize a conflict of interest with a potential or current client. In other cases, attorneys may run across issues in their practice that they may be unsure about and may or may not be an actual conflict of interest. At Century Law Group located in Los Angeles, California, we provide advice and counseling for attorneys who have questions about these issues and the ethical issues involved in their legal practice.

Attorneys Edward Lear and Paul Virgo have spent more than 47 years providing counsel and representation for attorneys in the areas of State Bar discipline and professional responsibility and conduct. Our firm has a thorough understanding of legal ethics and the California State Bar and can assess and evaluate any potential conflicts of interest. Anticipating these problems and knowing the impact that they may have on your legal practice and your standing with the Bar is important. Century Law Group can help you identify these problems early.

Drafting a Motion for Disqualification

A lawyer may be disqualified from representing a client if they have a relationship with their client in a matter that is non-related to their current case. In civil court, filing a motion of disqualification can protect you when you anticipate a conflict of interest. Century Law Group will analyze your situation and can draft a declaration on your behalf that will either support the granting or denial of the disqualification. There are different standards that we look at prior to the motion of disqualification being filed.

We can also help you set up an ethical screen in your legal practice to identify and avoid potential problems with clients.
