Are secret settlements unethical? For the most part, yes, and plaintiffs’ attorneys should refuse to enter into any confidentiality agreement in connection with a settlement that bars counsel or their clients from discussing the facts of a case and the identities of the defendants. Many plaintiffs’ lawyers don’t know about the provisions in the Model Rules of Professional Conduct that make many confidentiality clauses unethical. AAJ’s Are Secret Settlements Unethical Teleseminar will arm plaintiffs’ attorneys with the legal tools to resist pressures from defendants for secrecy. We will show how hush clauses run afoul of the rules and how plaintiffs’ counsel can craft language that protects their clients and their own ability to talk publicly about the cases that make a difference.
