Decision Question
Should Engineer A accept Attorney X's defense-side retention in the same active personal injury proceeding in which he previously held a confidential plaintiff-side engagement, or decline on the basis of the switching-sides prohibition and former client consent prerequisite?
Focus
Engineer A: Switching Sides and Former Client Consent Prerequisite in Same Active Proceeding
Option1
Refuse Attorney X's retention on the grounds that the switching-sides prohibition and the former client consent prerequisite bar participation in the same active proceeding, and notify Attorney X of the ethical reasons for declination.
Option2
Accept the defense engagement on the condition of producing a genuinely independent and objective report, treating Engineer A's demonstrated impartiality and formal termination from the plaintiff engagement as sufficient to resolve any structural conflict.
Option3
Condition acceptance of the defense retention on obtaining informed consent from the plaintiff or Attorney Z, treating the former client consent prerequisite as a curable procedural requirement rather than a structural bar, and proceed only if that consent is granted.
