Reducing Conflict in Divorce Litigation: Ethical Solutions for Family Law Practitioners

Federal Bar Association myLawCLE

Online Webinar

Blank Rome partner Alan R. Feigenbaum will serve as a panelist for “Reducing Conflict in Divorce Litigation: Ethical Solutions for Family Law Practitioners,” a Federal Bar Association myLawCLE live webinar being held Thursday, February 27, 2025, from 1:00 to 3:50 p.m. EST.

This program will consist of two sessions, “Professional Approaches to Resolving High-Conflict Divorce Cases” and “Practical Divorce Tips and Reducing Conflict: Navigating Ethical Challenges in Family Law.”

ABOUT THE SESSIONS

In Alan’s session, “Professional Approaches to Resolving High-Conflict Divorce Cases,” two matrimonial practitioners will address what a “high conflict” divorce looks like and how conflict can be reduced, unnecessarily escalated, and ultimately resolved whether by trial or settlement. We will examine the role that divorce lawyers play in balancing the emotional and legal temperature in a high conflict divorce and explore ways to add value to clients through the vehicle of maintaining positive working relationships between counsel during high conflict litigation. Finally, they will address the importance of client management and how unchecked expectations can escalate conflict.

Speakers:

  • Alan R. Feigenbaum, Blank Rome LLP
  • Sunita Kurra, Cohen Clair Lans Greifer & Simpson LLP

The second session, “Practical Divorce Tips and Reducing Conflict: Navigating Ethical Challenges in Family Law,” will be presented by Erika R. Piccirillo (Cohn Lifland Pearlman Herrmann & Knopf, LLP), who will discuss practical strategies and ethical considerations to reduce conflict in divorce cases while ensuring compliance with the Rules of Professional Conduct.

CLE credit is available.
