2010As we explained in In re: Brown, 07-0995 at pp. 7-8 (La.10/17/07), 967 So.2d 482, 486 , acts of legal malpractice do not necessarily constitute ethical misconduct: The question of when ordinary legal malpractice becomes an ethical violation is somewhat unclear.

1993Since the Rules are designed "to serve the public interest in maximum access to lawyers and to preclude commercial arrangements that interfere with that goal," the "plain meaning (of Rule 5.6) indicates that any provision, whether direct or indirect, that operates so as to restrict a lawyer's post-termination practice will contravene the ethical rule."
