Stoll Berne attorney Kevin Flannery shared insights about professionalism and the Oregon Rules of Professional Conduct with fellow litigators in the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association’s Business Litigation Section today, delivering a presentation entitled “Maintaining Ethical Practices: An Annotated Review of the OSB Statement of Professionalism.” During the presentation, Flannery discussed the Oregon State Bar’s aspirational guidance regarding professionalism and the background ethical rules that help animate it. Stoll Berne attorneys Elizabeth Bailey Kinsman and Maddie Holmes helped to organize and facilitate the presentation.
Flannery has been a litigator at Stoll Berne since October 2023. His practice focuses on securities-related matters, intellectual property disputes, and other complex litigation, including appellate work. Prior to joining Stoll Berne, Flannery worked as a public defender and was frequently in the courtroom advocating for his clients. He also clerked for Justice Rives Kistler at the Oregon Supreme Court and Justice Sheryl Gordon McCloud at the Washington Supreme Court after graduating from law school.
Flannery values professionalism in the practice of law and previously facilitated an ethics-focused CLE accredited by the Washington State Bar Association: “Communication During a Pandemic – Keeping the Client Informed.” An application for CLE accreditation for today’s presentation will be submitted to the Oregon State Bar.
