Scope Note
[proethica-intermediate-extended] A licensed professional engineering role in which an engineer is initially retained by one party in adversarial litigation to provide forensic analysis and expert opinion, is terminated or withdraws without producing a favorable report, and is subsequently approached by the opposing party to provide a separate and independent analysis, bearing obligations to decline the second engagement due to irresolvable conflicts of interest arising from confidential information, documents, and knowledge gained during the first engagement — regardless of whether the prior relationship has formally ended.
