Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
Carla is representing a client defending a partnership dispute. Opposing counsel proposes terms that Carla views as poor. She chooses not to tell the client. Weeks later, the client learns of the proposed terms from a friend who overheard discussions. Which statement best describes Carla’s obligation?
Carla opts to discard a proposed arrangement she considers substandard without consulting her client
Carla waits for the client to raise questions before sharing details she receives from the other side
Carla keeps her client informed about meaningful terms from the other side, giving the client an opportunity to decide how to respond
Carla can withhold propositions to better allow her negotiations.
Lawyers provide significant information so that clients can decide how to proceed. Ignoring a proposed arrangement because it is viewed as inadequate disrupts the client’s opportunity to respond before dismissing it. Waiting for the client to inquire shifts the lawyer’s proactive duty to the client, which undermines the principle of adequate communication.
