In re DuBoff

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court reviewed the disciplinary panel’s finding that attorney Leonard D. DuBoff entered a business transaction with his clients and failed to satisfy the disclosure and informed‑consent requirements of Oregon Rule of Professional Conduct 1.8(a). The Court held that the arrangement was a business transaction subject to the rule and that the July 2015 letter did not fully disclose the essential terms. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the trial panel’s public reprimand.
