Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney represents a small technology company on IP matters. The company requests guidance on a branding strategy that involves legal compliance and public image. The attorney is deciding whether to include non-legal considerations in the advice. Which approach aligns with ethical standards?
Focus advice on legal topics relevant to the client's needs
Refer the client to another advisor for handling non-legal aspects
Decline to assist with non-legal considerations
Provide input that includes legal and broader strategic considerations relevant to the client’s circumstances
Advising clients on legal, business, and reputational factors is allowed when it helps them make informed decisions. Limiting advice to legal questions may overlook significant issues. Sending the client to another advisor for every non-legal concern can be inconvenient and may not serve the client’s broader objectives.
