Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question

An attorney previously represented the owner of a market in drafting a commercial lease for the property. The legal work ended. A new client now wants the attorney's help in filing an injury claim against the same market for a structural defect in the building, which may relate to the lease. Which answer is best under these circumstances?

  • The attorney should consider refusing representation because the same property is involved.

  • The attorney can represent the new client without further action because the earlier work used a different area of law.

  • The attorney needs consent from the market owner because the attorney's prior work is related to issues in the new matter.

  • The attorney can take the case by limiting the use of confidential information since the earlier work did not overlap with the new claim.
