For too long, immigration law firms have been offering their clients zero-down, zero-interest loans disguised as payment plans. Enter Buy now, pay later: a short-term financing option that allows a consumer to make purchases and pay for them in the future. Given this option's popularity and widespread availability, lawyers and firms have wondered if they too could allow clients to engage them to pay for legal services at a future date.
Wonder no more. Get your questions answered during this upcoming roundtable. Discussion leaders will:
- Cover the Ethical Rules Related to Third-Party Credit Options
- Identify Potential Conflicts of Interest and How to Avoid Them
