Arizona recently amended its regulations on ownership of law firms, paying referral fees, and supervision of nonlawyers as well as making changes to many Ethical Rules. Learn how these rule changes may apply to you, even if you are an in-house counsel or provide insurance defense representation. Lynda will discuss these recent changes as well as new ABA and Arizona ethics opinions on practicing across state lines, responding to online reviews and duties to notify lienholders upon receipt of settlement funds.
