  3. Assess and Mitigate Conflict Risks: Develop strategies for managing potential conflicts in multiple-client representations and unrelated matter adversity.
  4. Apply Best Practices in Conflict Avoidance: Incorporate risk management techniques, such as drafting thorough engagement letters and seeking informed consent to avoid ethical breaches.
