Abstract
The spread of the coronavirus has massively disrupted the way lawyers fulfill their obligations to their clients. From work-from-home set-up to virtual proceedings, lawyers had to adjust to the new means of working.
However, pandemic or not, one thing does not change – lawyers’ ethical duties. Regardless of whether who is ill or which courthouse is closed, lawyers’ ethical obligation to put their client’s interest first remains. A plethora of issues creates an ethical minefield for lawyers who, therefore, need to put a straightforward plan in place to ensure that they and their clients are protected.
