Governmental entities are commonly represented by general counsel, but they also use the services of special defense counsel who are retained or assigned by an insurer to handle civil litigation matters. Although general counsel and special defense counsel generally represent the same interests, due to counsels’ different responsibilities and viewpoints, ethical conflicts, including those discussed in C.R.P.C. 1.4 and 1.7, can arise in the course of defending and resolving claims. This CLE will help you better understand the ethical conflicts that may arise, particularly in the following commonly encountered situations:
Investigations: Internal or Defense Controlled
Offers of Judgment
Admitting Municipal Liability
Representing both the Entity and Individual Defendants
Open Government vs. Confidentiality
