Retainer agreements form the foundation of the attorney-client relationship and are key to setting expectations and protecting against liability. Thanks to the NJSBA’s advocacy, New Jersey attorneys now have guidance to assist in drafting arbitration provisions in their retainer agreements. The Supreme Court’s guidelines, heavily inspired by NJSBA the recommendations, provide model language for retainer agreements and clear direction for how attorneys should explain potential arbitration so that clients can make an informed decision.

Join us April 10 for DEI Officers and Recent Executive Orders – Essential Strategies Recent executive orders, including “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity” and “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,” promise to have a significant impact on the role of diversity, equity, and inclusion officers. The orders mandate sweeping changes to DEI initiatives in the federal government, heightened scrutiny over DEI programs in the private sector and the dissolution of ongoing DEI initiatives in education. DEI officers work in collaboration with multiple business and firm stakeholders to strategize and implement programs and procedures that create a more inclusive environment. Their work allows business and firms to represent diverse clients more effectively.
