J. F. (Jim) Chester, founding partner in the Dallas-based global business & technology law firm of CHESTER pllc, recently presented on the legal implications of representing multiple clients to an audience of young attorneys at an event sponsored by the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers (DAYL).
The title of the presentation, which was held at the Belo Mansion, the Dallas Bar Association’s headquarters in Dallas, Texas, was: “Who’s Your Client (for Transactional Attorneys)?” Chester co-presented on a panel with Dan Baucum and John Andrews. Chester and the other panelists discussed how to avoid ethical dilemmas while representing multiple clients. The discussion covered scenarios and solutions to common representation issues that arise in corporate, estate planning, and family practices.
DAYL regularly holds informational luncheons, such as the recent event presented by Chester, as part of its Lunch and Learn program, which was created about three years ago as a way to help DAYL members get practical and substantive information that they may not be getting in the workplace.
Chester reports, “I was honored to participate in this DAYL program. Avoiding ethical issues is important for all lawyers, including young attorneys. It’s great that the DAYL provides programs such as this one to allow young attorneys to learn from a range of more experienced practitioners.”
