A friend of mine who is a lawyer had a fire in his law office and it destroyed a number of files. What are his ethical obligations under those type of circumstances?
Fire or any sort of natural disaster, such as a hurricane or a major flood, can wreak havoc with a law office or law practice. Presumably lawyers in North Carolina and South Carolina, after the recent hurricane, have not been to their office for a number of days and many of their files in their offices may have been destroyed or damaged.
