Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. Loyalty is an essential element in the investigator's relationship to a client. Therefore:
1. an investigator shall not represent a
client if the representation of that client will be directly adverse to the
representations of another client, unless:
a.
the investigator reasonably believes the representation will not adversely
affect the relationship with the other client; and
b. each client consents after
consultation;
2. an
investigator shall not represent a client if the representation of that client
may be materially limited by the investigator's responsibilities to another
client or to a third person, or by the investigator's own interest, unless:
a. the investigator reasonably believes the
representation will not be adversely affected; and
b. the client consents after consultation.
When representation of multiple clients in a single matter is undertaken, the
consultation shall include explanation of the implications of the common
representation and the disadvantages and risks involved.
