Greenbaum partner Robert B. Hille will present a live webinar on “New Jersey Attorney Trust and Business Accounting and Avoiding the Risks of Disbarment and Other Discipline for Co-mingling and Misappropriation of Entrusted Funds” on Thursday, February 6, 2025. The program will be presented by Lawline at 12:00pm.

This presentation will discuss the New Jersey Supreme Court's Trust and Business Account financial record keeping requirements for attorneys in private practice. It will also explore the difference between Compliance and Demand Audits and the standards applied by the Office of Attorney Ethics in determining whether there is a violation and the disciplinary process. The program agenda will include the concepts of knowing and negligent misappropriation, the differences in the range of discipline, the Wilson Rule and mandatory disbarment. New Jersey's alteration in its prior approach to permanent disbarment will be examined, along with the Wade decision and new Rule 1:20-21A concerning readmission following disbarment.
