Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question

An attorney was hired by a company to investigate suspected wrongdoing. The attorney met privately with an employee, who discussed concerns related to the company. The employee then ended employment there, and during a later lawsuit, an opposing side demanded the attorney reveal those discussions. Which statement best addresses how the attorney should handle this demand for disclosure?

  • The attorney shares the statements because certain requests for information in a lawsuit must be released.

  • The attorney discloses the statements because the employee ended work at the company.

  • The attorney discloses details if wrongdoing is alleged in the private conversation.

  • The attorney declines the request, as the employee shared information in a confidential setting for the company’s legal needs.
