Decision Question
Should Engineer A fully disclose all material circumstances surrounding Engineer C's interest — including that Engineer C has definitively withdrawn — before or when referencing prior third-party interest to Engineer B, or may Engineer A omit Engineer C's withdrawal on the grounds that partial disclosure of prior interest is sufficient?
Focus
Engineer A must decide whether to fully disclose all circumstances surrounding Engineer C's interest — including her definitive withdrawal — when making any reference to third-party competitive interest during negotiations with Engineer B. The Board identified full disclosure of Engineer C's circumstances as a conditional defense that, if exercised, would have changed the ethical outcome.
Option1
When referencing prior third-party interest to Engineer B, fully disclose all material circumstances — including that Engineer C initially expressed interest but has since definitively decided not to proceed — so that Engineer B can form an accurate understanding of the current competitive landscape and Engineer A retains the conditional ethical defense of complete disclosure.
Option2
Reference Engineer C's prior expressed interest to Engineer B without disclosing her subsequent withdrawal, on the basis that the prior interest is a real historical fact and that the current status of that interest is a matter of commercial confidentiality or negotiating strategy that Engineer A is not obligated to volunteer.
Option3
Refrain entirely from referencing Engineer C or any third-party interest — whether accurately or inaccurately — and instead pursue negotiation acceleration through means that do not implicate Engineer C's professional position or require disclosure decisions about her withdrawal status.
