Ethical Duties and Practical Issues in Notarization for International Transactions

On November 3, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. ET, Francesca Giannoni-Crystal be presenting a CLE webinar on “Ethical Duties and Practical Issues in Notarization for International Transactions.”

Notarization in cross-border transactions can be more complicated than it appears. Differences between common law and civil law notarial systems, requirements for apostilles and legalization, and the growing use of electronic notarization can create significant practical and ethical challenges for attorneys.

We’ll explore these issues, with particular attention to lawyers’ duties of competence, diligence, communication, and confidentiality, and discuss practical strategies to avoid delays, document rejection, and unnecessary costs in international transactions.
