Proposed Formal Opinion Interim No. 11 0003 considers: Upon
dissolution of a law firm, what duties does an attorney formerly affiliated
with the firm owe to a client on whose behalf he or she provided legal services
if the attorney will no longer be representing the client following
dissolution? What duties does she owe to the client if she had no
connection with or knowledge of the client prior to dissolution of the
firm? Do those duties differ depending on the nature of the attorney’s
position with the firm?
