CONSENT TO JOINT REPRESENTATION Clause Samples
The Consent to Joint Representation clause authorizes a single attorney or law firm to represent multiple parties in a matter, despite potential or actual conflicts of interest. In practice, this clause requires all involved parties to acknowledge the possible risks, such as divided loyalties or confidentiality concerns, and to agree in writing to the shared representation. Its core function is to ensure that all parties are fully informed and voluntarily accept the arrangement, thereby addressing ethical requirements and reducing the risk of future disputes over conflicts of interest.
