Join nationally recognized MSA Lawyer John Cattie as he details how we got here, why the federal government is moving now on the LMSA issue and what ethical concerns must now be addressed by parties resolving liability insurance claims to meet minimum standards set forth in the New York Rules of Professional Conduct.
