Mental health issues and substance use disorders can affect any practitioner, in any setting, and at any time.  Left untreated, they can destroy careers and lives.  This program will discuss where the legal profession currently stands in relation to the substantial challenges presented by untreated mental health issues and substance use disorders and examine the nexus between ethical competence under the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct and practitioner well-being.  This program will educate attendees on how to recognize the signs of an impaired attorney, how to approach the colleague and begin a conversation,  and discuss the possible disciplinary and professional liability implications of an impaired practitioner’s conduct.  In addition, the speakers will present best practices/effective risk management strategies, preventative measures, and proposed policy and well-being initiatives, that practitioners in any practice setting may implement to protect clients, themselves, and other firm members as well as save careers

Presented by:
Laurie Besden, Executive Director, Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers of Pennsylvania 
Michael McCable, Partner, McCabe Ali LLP
Tracy Kepler, Director of LPL Risk Control, CNA
