Overview:

Youth organizations face an unprecedent onslaught of claims from former and current clients, and often turn to their lawyers for help. Unfortunately, the lawyer’s usual toolkit can be counterproductive, particularly when it comes to youth organizations.

In this Knowledge Group LIVE webcast, lawyers who have spent decades working in child welfare will discuss how lawyers can ethically guide youth organizations through crises and significant claims.
