The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new challenges for attorneys and the practice of law on a range of matters, from attorney-client confidentiality, communicating effectively while working remotely, and abiding by existing ethical responsibilities.  The BBA’s Ethics Committee has issued an Advisory as a set of general guidelines to help Massachusetts attorneys navigate the new legal landscape.  You can read the Advisory here (https://bostonbar.org/docs/default-document-library/bba-ethics-committee-pandemic-advisory-april-2020.pdf) and join the discussion on May 20.
