Description

The document outlines a request for a waiver of a potential or actual conflict of interest concerning a law firm's representation of another client. It highlights key conditions that must be agreed upon by the parties involved, ensuring that the representation does not compromise the interests of any affiliated parties. Specific examples of conflict of interest in schools can include scenarios where school administrators have financial ties to vendors supplying educational materials, or when educators are involved in hiring relatives within the school's hiring process. The form requires signatures from both the law firm and the outside client to signify agreement to the terms. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who handle matters involving multiple clients or organizations, as it provides a structured way to navigate potential conflicts while maintaining ethical standards. Filling out this form involves clear instructions on asserting the limits of representation, and the need for all parties to acknowledge the agreement through their signatures. Moreover, it serves to protect the integrity of the legal process and ensure transparency in client relationships.
