Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Attorney Jane is representing two corporations in negotiating a joint venture agreement. During the negotiations, a significant dispute arises between the two corporations that may require legal action. What is the best course of action for Jane to comply with professional responsibility rules?
Represent one corporation more diligently than the other.
Continue representing both corporations without any additional steps.
Obtain informed consent from both corporations after full disclosure of potential conflicts.
Withdraw from representing one of the corporations to avoid the conflict.
Obtaining informed consent from both corporations after fully disclosing the potential conflicts ensures that each client is aware of the situation and agrees to the joint representation. This aligns with ethical standards to prevent conflicts of interest. Continuing to represent both without disclosure might lead to undisclosed conflicts, withdrawing without necessity is not required if consent is obtained, and prioritizing one client over the other breaches duty of loyalty.
