š How I Lawyer #120: Hilary Gerzhoy - Legal Ethics and Malpractice Lawyer
š Welcome back!
āBefore we dive in, could I ask for a quick favor?Ā It would mean so much to me if you could takeĀ 30 secondsĀ and leave a review of How I Lawyer on Apple Podcasts (regardless of where you listen to the show). These reviews help the algorithm connect me to the right potential listeners.Ā Leave a review here.
In todayās episode I speak with Hilary Gerzhoy who is a Vice Chair of HWG LLPās Legal Ethics and Malpractice group where she focuses her work on legal ethics, white collar defense, and complex civil litigation.
She has represented lawyers before various disciplinary bodies at both state and federal levels, including the USPTOās Office of Enrollment and Discipline and the DOJās Office of Professional Responsibility. Hilary is deeply involved in the legal community. She is the Vice Chair of the D.C. Bar Rules of Professional Conduct Review Committee, she is on the ABAās Ethics and Professional Responsibility Committee, and she is on the DC Circuit Admissions and Grievances Committee.
Hilary uses her expertise in legal ethics to teach as an adjunct professor of professional responsibility at Georgetown Law (Hoya Saxa) and she is also a regular author in the legal and popular press on topics related to legal ethics. Hilary earned her JD from the University of California Berkeley School of Law and her BA from the University of Chicago.
In our conversation we discuss her path to the law, the unique nature of legal ethics and malpractice work, what it is like to be a lawyer representing lawyers, her public facing writing and publishing, the importance of her volunteer work serving legal organizations and on bar committees, and more.
