Details

A Practical Guide to Managing Conflicts of Interest in Law Firms is a practical and accessible guide to one of the most misunderstood areas of legal practice. It cuts through technical complexity to explain the two conflicts that truly matter; personal (own interest) conflicts and client conflicts and why confusing them can lead to poor decisions and unnecessary risk.

This book focuses on real world scenarios, and shows how conflicts arise in corporate, shareholder, and transactional work, and why the real challenge is not spotting them, but knowing when they can be managed and when they cannot. With clear examples, practical tools, and a strong emphasis on professional judgment, ‘A Practical Guide to Managing Conflicts of Interest in Law Firms’ equips solicitors to navigate complex situations with confidence, clarity, and compliance.
