Tom Mason of Zuckerman Spaeder discusses the “no-contact” rule which prohibits a lawyer from contacting represented persons without the permission of the person’s attorney. Topics include: • How to handle contacts initiated by the represented person; • With represented organizations, who can be contacted without pre-clearance from the organization’s attorney; • Contacts for the purpose of replacing the represented person’s current lawyer; • Contacts with in-house counsel of a represented organization; • Client-to-client contacts and the lawyer’s role in advising the client about such contacts; • Contacts with non-lawyer government officials in matters involving the government; and • Conflicts of laws: which ethics rules apply.
