Communication With Client | Withdrawal from Representation
A law firm generally has no ethical obligation to file a lawsuit on behalf of a missing client to satisfy an impending statute of limitations. There may be exceptions, however, if the client specifically authorizes the filing of a lawsuit prior to the client’s disappearance and provides the law firm with sufficient information with which a complaint can reasonably be prepared and filed.
