What will be an ideal response?


Imputed disqualification is the disqualification of an entire firm because one of its lawyers could not represent a client because of a conflict of interest. The policy behind imputed disqualification is the notion that the entire firm is privy to the client confidences of all of its clients, regardless of who in the firm is representing the clients. To protect against breeches of confidentiality and loyalty, an entire firm will be considered disqualified if one of its lawyers would be disqualified due to named conflicts of interest.
