Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question

Dana is an attorney advising a business associate who confides that they plan to forge a signature on an upcoming contract, creating a financial loss for the other party. The client insists that Dana preserve confidentiality. Under the local rule, revealing information is permitted if it will prevent a substantial monetary injury. What approach is appropriate for Dana?

  • Dana remains silent unless the forgery is actually carried out, then considers announcing the client's wrongdoing.

  • Dana maintains secrecy in all financial dealings, since an unexecuted plan is not an immediate issue.

  • Dana notifies the relevant individuals of the client's fraudulent intentions, as ethical standards allow measures to avert serious monetary harm.

  • Dana partially discloses the client’s intention to another attorney for input, but avoids informing anyone else of the potential forgery.
