October 1st, 2024
from 17:30 to 20:30
The evening is dedicated to analyzing the professional rules for lawyers regarding advertising and the concurrent prohibition against client solicitation in light of recent case law from the Federal Court. Indeed, with a decision on November 28, 2023, the High Court ruled on an appeal filed by four Ticinese lawyers against the decision of the Disciplinary Commission for Lawyers of the Canton of Ticino, which fined them following the sending of a newsletter by their law and notary office. This behavior was considered a violation of the prohibition on client solicitation through advertising (Art. 12, letter d of the Federal Law on the Free Movement of Lawyers [LLCA] of June 23, 2000). The disciplinary measure was later reduced to a simple warning by the Cantonal Administrative Court. Finally, the Federal Court dismissed the appeal filed again by the Ticinese lawyers.
