Carlos Valls chaired the session “Prosecuting unfounded litigation, tanking settlements, and over-drafting contracts: combatting unethical lawyer behavior” which took place in Rome on Wednesday, 10 October, on occasion of the IBA Annual Meeting. Carlos pointed out inter alia at the difficulties of detecting this unethical behavior, which shows how critical it is to have a strong and an independent profession, asked whether these issues could be exacerbated in circumstances of additional financial pressure, such as in cases of third party funding, or in firms with non lawyer partners, particularly financial partners.
