Webinar - The Ethics of Negotiations For Estate Planners: Are There Any?
About the Program (Zoom Only)
Sure, we all negotiate every day and we never intentionally mislead the other side — well, maybe we puff a bit, but that's OK, isn't it? That’s how the game is played, correct? And certainly there’s nothing inherently unethical about the negotiation process, right? Wait — are you sure that the answers to those questions are as clear cut as they seem? Nationally-renowned speaker Mike Rubin, with his unique blend of scholarship and humor, and with one of the most unusual multi-media presentations you’ll ever see, will challenge your thinking, raise issues to ponder, and give you something to smile about.
About the Speaker
Mike Rubin, one of the leaders of the multi-state law firm of McGlinchey Stafford PLLC, with offices from the West Coast to the Gulf Coast to the East Coast, is a past president of the Bar Association of the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, the American College of Real Estate Lawyers, the Louisiana State Bar Association, and the Southern Conference of Bar Presidents. He is a member of the ABA’s Standing Committee on Ethics and Professionalism and has taught legal ethics in law schools. He also is a member of the American Law Institute and a Commissioner of the Uniform Law Commission. A nationally-known public speaker and humorist who has given over 450 major presentations throughout the United States, Canada and Great Britain, Rubin is an author of, co-author of, and contributing writer to more than a dozen legal books and over fifty articles for law review and periodicals. His works are used in law schools and have been cited as authoritative by state and federal courts, including the United States First and Fifth Circuit Courts of Appeals. Rubin’s latest legal book, on Louisiana real estate, construction, and finance, is THE LOUISIANA LAW OF SECURITY DEVICES, A PRÉCIS, now in its second edition. He is also an award-winning novelist. THE COTTONCREST CURSE, a historical thriller, was published by the award-winning LSU Press and was named the IndieFab Book of the Year at the American Library Association’s meeting as the best thriller and suspense novel published by university and independent presses. CASHED OUT, a contemporary legal thriller, won the Jack Eadon Literary Award for Best Contemporary Drama. The Providence Journal says “Cashed Out features “a lawyer down and out enough to make John Grisham proud. He’s culled from the likes of Michael Connelly by way of James Lee Burke. A gem of a tale.”
