Decision Question
What is the scope and completeness of Engineer A's disclosure obligation to Attorney X regarding his committee chairmanship and Engineer B's subcommittee membership, and does that obligation extend beyond a one-time factual report to include Engineer A's own professional assessment of whether the relationship creates a disqualifying conflict?
Focus
Engineer A's dual-role disclosure obligation: as chair of the boiler code standards committee and as forensic expert retained by Attorney X, Engineer A must determine the scope, timing, and completeness of his disclosure regarding both his own committee chairmanship and Engineer B's subcommittee membership.
Option1
Disclose to Attorney X both the committee chairmanship role and Engineer B's subcommittee membership immediately upon discovery, accompanied by Engineer A's own professional assessment of whether the supervisory relationship creates a conflict that could compromise objectivity, and commit to updating Attorney X if the committee relationship materially changes during litigation
Option2
Disclose the structural facts of the committee chairmanship and Engineer B's subcommittee membership to Attorney X as a one-time act at the outset of formal engagement, without providing a self-assessment of conflict severity, and leave ongoing conflict monitoring to Attorney X's professional judgment as retaining counsel
Option3
Disclose the committee chairmanship and Engineer B's subcommittee membership to Attorney X and simultaneously notify the engineering society's ethics or governance body of the dual-role situation, creating a formal institutional record and allowing the society to independently assess whether its own governance policies require any action
