Definition
State in which a partner of an engineering firm whose colleague holds an active client retainer appears before an independent professional or governmental body to advocate for the technical position that serves the retaining client's interest — where the partner's firm affiliation creates a structural alignment between the advocacy and the client's financial interest, even if the partner personally has no direct financial stake in the outcome, raising questions about whether the advocacy is genuinely independent or is an extension of the firm's client service.
