General Conduct and Communications. The matter for which you have been retained will be supervised by the OAG’s General Xxxxxxx and First Assistant Attorney General with the First Assistant Attorney General assigned as the OAG’s primary contact. The OAG has found it helpful to have one attorney designated as PRP’s principal contact with the First Assistant Attorney General. That “lead counsel” will work with the First Assistant Attorney General to decide what tasks need to be undertaken. Unless other arrangements are agreed in advance, all pleadings, motions, and other papers prepared by PRP should be submitted to the First Assistant Attorney General in draft form for review and comment before servicing upon other parties or filing with the court. Please allow the First Assistant Attorney General sufficient time for review, generally two- to-three working days absent emergency circumstances. All communications between PRP and the OAG and/or Secretary of State’s Office shall be marked “Confidential / Attorney-Client Privileged.” All work product of PRP shall be marked “Confidential / Privileged / Attorney Work Product” on each page. All communications by PRP with State personnel should be made through the First Assistant Attorney General since this will allow for better coordination and may help to hold down expenses. On occasion, it may be necessary to communicate directly with State personnel to obtain factual or technical information. Any such contacts may be made only with the prior approval of the First Assistant Attorney General. It is the responsibility of PRP to advise the First Assistant Attorney General as soon as practicable of the nature and content of any direct communications. Copies of all correspondence and documents sent to State personnel must be sent contemporaneously to the First Assistant Attorney General. It may be necessary on occasion for non-legal State personnel or for certain third parties (e.g., attorneys representing our insurers) to contact PRP directly. It may not always be possible for the First Assistant Attorney General to participate in such communications. Accordingly, the OAG expects PRP to extend to such individuals the same professional courtesies that you would extend to a member of the OAG. However, PRP should undertake projects, research, and execution of strategy only upon the direction of the First Assistant Attorney General. While PRP will not discuss this representation without the OAG’s written approval, the OAG acknowledges that PRP conducts research and communications on a broad range of democracy and voting-related issues. PRP may communicate to third parties including the public about such issues, including issues related to the subject matter of this representation, and may communicate publicly available information regarding the matter for which the State has engaged PRP. This will be done consistent with PRP’s ethical obligations. Notification of the OAG Regarding Significant Changes or Developments: PRP must notify and consult with the OAG promptly regarding all significant developments related to the legal services provided under this contract or any potential new legal matters. XXX § 0325(1). Should litigation involving potential liability for the State be threatened, commence, or significantly change during the term of this contract, PRP must immediately inform the OAG in writing. Id.
