About the event

South Asian attorneys often face unique practice management challenges arising from the intersection of cultural values and professional obligations. How do you handle a potential client who is a close family friend without risking a conflict of interest? How do you manage confidentiality when a client’s family expects to be involved in decision-making?

This ethics CLE explores the friction between South Asian cultural norms—such as collectivism, deference to hierarchy, and indirect communication—and the explicit requirements of the Rules of Professional Conduct. The CLE will provide practical practice management tips to maintain ethical boundaries while respecting cultural nuances.
