Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Brett, an attorney, is hired by Kim to handle a new venture. Kim provides Brett with detailed operational plans and related financial projections. Brett shares elements of those materials with a potential investor, although Kim never indicated that such disclosures were appropriate. Which statement best describes Brett’s approach?
Invites external parties to review the client’s information in alignment with the client’s wishes
Goes beyond standard protocols for protecting client data by sharing information without the client’s approval
Facilitates business relationships in a manner aligned with representing the client’s enterprise
Distributes summaries of the plans in a manner that maintains the venture’s viability
Attorneys should protect their clients’ information and refrain from releasing it without approval. The correct answer indicates that Brett overstepped the accepted boundary of confidentiality by passing along sensitive material without the client’s say. The other answers incorrectly propose that offering potential benefits or partial disclosures is acceptable despite the absence of explicit client approval.
