Mound Cotton partner Jonathan Gross is set to speak at the Practicing Law Institute’s Negotiation Skills Essentials 2026 in San Francisco, California on March 3rd, 2026.
Ethics in negotiations involve a balance between a lawyer’s obligations of honesty and candor with zealous client advocacy, pursuant to the Model Rules of Professional Responsibility and relevant state provisions. Whether in a transactional or litigated settlement context, lawyers may often find themselves in gray areas. Jonathan will focus on Understanding the Ethics of Negotiation during his presentation, including a review of the relevant Model Rules of Professions Responsibility and state provision, a deep dive into understanding how the ethical rules impact negotiation, and an analysis of hypothetical scenarios in legal practice.
