(a)Except as provided in paragraph
(b)of this section, a practitioner shall not represent a client if the representation involves a concurrent conflict of interest. A concurrent conflict of interest exists if:
(1)The representation of one client will be directly adverse to another client; or
(2)There is a significant risk that the representation of one or more clients will be materially limited by the practitioner's responsibilities to another client, a former client or a third person or by a personal interest of the practitioner.
(b)Notwithstanding the existence of a concurrent conflict of interest under paragraph
(a)of this section, a practitioner may represent a client if:
(1)The practitioner reasonably believes that the practitioner will be able to provide competent and diligent representation to each affected client;
(2)The representation is not prohibited by law;
(3)The representation does not involve the assertion of a claim by one client against another client represented by the practitioner in the same litigation or other proceeding before a tribunal; and
(4)Each affected client gives informed consent, confirmed in writing.
