Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question

Attorney Quinn recently joined a mid-sized firm. The firm intends to represent a party in litigation that is substantially related to a matter on which Quinn worked for a former client at Quinn's prior firm. Quinn will have no role in the new representation. Under the ABA Model Rules, when may the firm undertake the representation despite Quinn's former-client conflict?

  • The firm may proceed if Quinn is timely screened from all participation, receives no portion of the fee, and the former client receives prompt written notice describing the screening procedures.

  • No disqualifying conflict arises unless Quinn actually advises the firm's lawyers about facts relevant to the dispute.

  • The firm is disqualified because Quinn's conflict extends to the entire firm, and no steps can mitigate it.

  • The firm can continue if Quinn attests that any information obtained while at the prior firm is now obsolete.
