Avoiding the establishment of an implied attorney-client relationship.

I attended the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys (ABPLA) annual conference last week in San Francisco. It was a busy couple of days full of networking and seminars. One of the most interesting discussions was about implied attorney-client relationships, led by Fred McClure of DLA Piper's Tampa office.

When Fred shared some hypothetical situations, I was surprised at the amount of debate among attending attorneys. I hope that it will also stimulate some discussion among my blog readers and LinkedIn group members. Please let me know your thoughts, or join the discussion in our LinkedIn group.
