Decision Question
How should Engineer A manage his conflicting obligations to his former private client and his current State employer — who are adversarial parties in the water-rights proceeding — given that he stamped the applicant's technical analysis and now works for the objecting State agency?
Focus
Engineer A's Conflict Management Obligations Upon Transitioning to the State as an Adversarial Party
Option1
Accept formal isolation from the State's water-rights case, refrain from disclosing any confidential technical or strategic information derived from the prior engagement, and limit State service to unrelated water-rights matters — while remaining available to stand behind the stamped analysis if called upon directly by the court or the former client through a non-adversarial channel
Option2
Seek retroactive informed consent from the former private firm and client to permit limited technical participation in the proceeding on behalf of the State, on the theory that consent under III.4.b. would cure the participation prohibition and allow Engineer A to contribute general water-rights expertise while maintaining confidentiality of litigation strategy
Option3
Resign from the State position rather than accept isolation, on the grounds that Engineer A's mere presence within the objecting agency as the engineer who stamped the opposing analysis creates an appearance of impropriety that organizational isolation alone cannot cure, and that complete departure is the only remedy that fully protects the former client's interests and the integrity of the adjudication
