We are proud that our attorneys are sought after speakers on the topic of ethics in the legal practice. Fazeel Khan will be speaking at the upcoming Ohio Employment Lawyers Association on "Ethical Perspectives on Venturing Outside Your Wheelhouse" He will be addressing the fundamental duty of how competence applies throughout a lawyer's career, and, often, the challenge lies in knowing what you don’t know. His presentation will explore our ethical obligation to take on matters we are competent to handle, and to refer out the rest. Great work Fazeel!
