| Lawyers do not violate Virginia Rule 4.2 when responding with “Reply All” to an email from another lawyer who has copied his or her client on the email. The sending lawyer’s copying of her client amounts to an “implied consent to a reply-all response.” “[T]he onus should be on the sending lawyer to blind copy all recipients, or separately forward the email to the client, if they do not want a ‘reply-all’ conversation.” However, any “reply must not exceed the scope of the email to which the lawyer is responding.” |
