I thought that's where law student interns come in. Basically law firms hire law students. When stuff like this comes up, the real lawyer can give hints to the law student and the law student goes talk with the client. The law student has no real obligation as far as the Bar goes (because they're just a student). The real lawyer also never made any direct advice to the client so they are also off the hook.
- networkimprov 6y agoLaw students do not "talk with the client" in the US. They're not licensed, so are barred from giving legal advice.
