Rule 1.7(d) governs withdrawal in cases arising under Rule 1.7(b)(1).

Rule 1.7(c) states the procedure that must be used to obtain the client’s informed consent if representation is to commence or continue in the circumstances described in Rule 1.7(b). The application of Rules 1.7(a) and 1.7(b) to specific facts must also take into consideration the principles of imputed disqualification described in Rule 1.10. The difference between Rule 1.7(a) and Rule 1.7(b) is that in the former, the lawyer is representing multiple interests in the same matter, while in the latter, the lawyer is representing a single interest, but a client of the lawyer who is represented by different counsel has an interest adverse to that advanced by the lawyer. For the definition of “informed consent,” see Rule 1.0(e). Rule 1.7(b) sets out those circumstances in which representation is barred in the absence of informed client consent. Rule 1.7(a) sets out the limited circumstances in which representation of conflicting interests is absolutely prohibited even with the informed consent of all involved clients. Rule 1.7 is intended to provide clear notice of circumstances that may constitute a conflict of interest. (d) If a conflict not reasonably foreseeable at the outset of representation arises under paragraph (b)(1) after the representation commences, and is not waived under paragraph (c), a lawyer need not withdraw from any representation unless the conflict also arises under paragraphs (b)(2), (b)(3), or (b)(4). (2) The lawyer reasonably believes that the lawyer will be able to provide competent and diligent representation to each affected client.

(4) The lawyer’s professional judgment on behalf of the client will be or reasonably may be adversely affected by the lawyer’s responsibilities to or interests in a third party or the lawyer’s own financial, business, property, or personal interests. (3) Representation of another client will be or is likely to be adversely affected by such representation (2) Such representation will be or is likely to be adversely affected by representation of another client (1) That matter involves a specific party or parties and a position to be taken by that client in that matter is adverse to a position taken or to be taken by another client in the same matter even though that client is unrepresented or represented by a different lawyer (b) Except as permitted by paragraph (c) below, a lawyer shall not represent a client with respect to a matter if: (a) A lawyer shall not advance two or more adverse positions in the same matter.
