Decision Question
Is Engineer A obligated to proactively disclose her intervening adverse engagement against ABC Manufacturing to ABC Manufacturing before accepting re-retention, and what does adequate disclosure require?
Focus
Before accepting the second patent litigation engagement from ABC Manufacturing — which follows Engineer A's intervening service as an adverse expert for Attorney X against ABC Manufacturing — Engineer A must decide whether and how to disclose her complete prior service history, including the adverse product liability engagement, to ABC Manufacturing so that ABC can make a fully informed retention decision.
Option1
Before accepting the second patent litigation retention, affirmatively inform ABC Manufacturing that Engineer A served as an expert witness against ABC Manufacturing in the intervening product liability matter retained by Attorney X, providing sufficient detail for ABC Manufacturing to make an informed retention decision with full awareness of the complete service history.
Option2
Accept the second retention without volunteering information about the adverse intervening engagement, on the assumption that ABC Manufacturing is aware of the product liability litigation and has implicitly consented to re-retention by extending the offer, thereby treating ABC Manufacturing's silence as informed acquiescence rather than a gap in disclosure.
Option3
Disclose the adverse intervening engagement to ABC Manufacturing in writing and require explicit written acknowledgment and consent before proceeding with the second retention, going beyond the minimum disclosure obligation to create a documented record that ABC Manufacturing accepted re-retention with full knowledge of Engineer A's prior adverse service.
