All members of the California State Bar must heed the Rules of Professional Conduct as they represent clients through video conferences, Zoom depositions, online court hearings, and other remote means. Even as courts reopen and attorneys return to the office, remote representation and advocacy will continue to some degree due to their practicalities and efficiencies. This program addresses legal ethics as applied to remote representation, including duties of diligence and competence, matters to consider when advising clients and protecting their interests, ways to keep clients adequately informed and their confidences secure, and the impact of obligations to the court, opposing counsel, and unrepresented parties.

 

Topics include:

 

• Fulfilling duties of diligence and competence in remote representation
• Protecting client interests in remote hearings and depositions
• Keeping clients informed and information secure working from home
• Meeting obligations to court, opposing party and counsel

Virtual Conference

 

“Construction in the Time of COVID”

October 5, 2020

12:45 – 2:15 p.m.

 

Speakers:

Isabel Brown, Partner, Goldfarb & Lipman LLP

William DiCamillo, Partner, Goldfarb & Lipman LLP

Eve Stewart, Vice President of Real Estate Development, Satellite Affordable Housing Associates

Scott Smith, President, James E. Roberts-Obayashi Corp.

 

Construction has never been easy. And construction in the time of COVID is a brand new challenge filled with all sorts of uncertainties. With potential government-ordered shutdowns, and global supply chains in disarray, to real-world health and safety concerns for both residents and workers, how can a contractor possibly commit to an owner to finish on time and on budget and, in turn, how can a developer make the same promises to a funder? We don’t know either! But, we can guaranty your construction contract will need some serious review and consideration before work begins.

WHEN: Friday, September 25, 12:45 – 2:00 p.m.

 

WHERE: NPH of Northern California 2020 Conference (virtual)

 

Race-neutrality in a racialized society such as the United States is a myth, including in the realm of affordable housing. To assume otherwise is to ignore the fact that intergenerational impacts of structural and cultural housing discrimination still exists. To ignore the intergenerational impacts of structural and cultural housing discrimination is to disregard the root of racial inequity in housing accessibility, undermining the potential success of housing equity policies. In this workshop, panelists will discuss the existence, or lack thereof, of race consciousness in rural and urban housing policies that shape their work. Speakers will address both the limitations and potential of creating and advancing race-conscious solutions.

 

Moderator: Erin Lapeyrolerie, Attorney, Goldfarb & Lipman LLP

 

Panelists:

• Mark Stivers, Director of Advocacy, California Housing Partnership
• Karoleen Feng, Director of Community Real Estate, Mission Economic Development Agency
• Gloria Bruce, Executive Director, East Bay Housing Organizations
