| A law firm represented a mother and her young child injured in an automobile accident allegedly caused by the mother's negligence. As the matter develops, the firm stops representing the mother and engages co-counsel to represent the child against the mother. Co-counsel has never met the mother and has only discussed the merits of the child's case with the lawyer. Both the firm and co-counsel may represent the child against the mother if the mother consents. [The Bar did not address the possible different positions of the lawyer and co-counsel (who had no contact with the mother).] |
