Continuing Legal Education (CLE): 1 Ethics Credit

Approved for one dual credit hour from TN Commission on Continuing Legal Education

About this course


Noel Bagwell has presented on the topic of How To Fire a Client for a nationwide provider of on-demand CLE. 

With updates and revisions of that popular presentation, Noel is back with more insights on how to end an attorney-client relationship without violating the Rules of Professional Conduct. Noel will cover both the relevant Model Rules from the ABA and Tennessee’s Rules of Professional Conduct.


Questions answered include:

  • When must an attorney end an attorney-client relationship?
  • When can an attorney end an attorney-client relationship?
  • What disclosures and approvals are required before an attorney can end an attorney-client relationship?
  • What liabilities could an attorney face for improperly ending an attorney-client relationship?
  • What provisions of an Engagement Agreement should be used to protect an attorney from the risks of having to end an attorney-client relationship before a matter is concluded?


Noel’s dynamic presentation and preventive approach to the topic is both engaging and highly informative. 

If you’ve ever had a problem client, this presentation is for you! Use the information in this course to help you ethically focus on your highest-value clients.
