Brief Synopsis: Ethics, Professional Responsibility and the Lawyer, Second Edition examines the issues facing lawyers in the context of a changing professional environment. While the major significant legal development has recently been on the rule affording barristers immunity from suit for in Court work (Lai v Chamberlain), the Second Edition provides expanded analysis on the lawyer-client relationship overall. Greater focus is placed on the contract of retainer and the duty of care in the lawyer–client relationship. The chapter on conflicts of duties deals in increased detail with the difficulties facing a lawyer who owes inconsistent duties to different clients. It also takes into account the likely impact of the Lawyers and Conveyancers Bill.
