Jessica Gray Kelly serves as panelist for Strafford CLE on a change of counsel during pending litigation

Jessica Gray Kelly, partner in the firm’s Litigation Department, spoke during a Strafford Continuing Legal Education (CLE) webinar, titled “Firing or Withdrawal of Counsel During Litigation,” on November 20, 2019. Jessica and her co-panelist, Alanna Clair, partner at Dentons, spoke to how lawyers and clients can end their relationship during pending litigation; who can impact the decision to end the relationship; what the continuing duties of the former attorney are; and what the effects of termination, outside the litigation itself, are.
