Nicholas Connon regularly represents attorneys in a
variety of contexts. The issues unique to attorney
representation often involve balancing the privilege and
confidentiality concerns with the rights of the
attorney-client. The Paladino decision established the
right of attorneys in California to consult their own legal
counsel in order to secure legal advice regarding their
rights without the risk of being sued for disclosing
information to their legal counsel. The Paladino decision
is also one of the leading cases on the parameters of
Section 425.16 of the California Code of Civil Procedure,
known as the SLAPP statute.
