Frequently Asked Questions

What constitutes a conflict of interest for lawyers?

Under ABA Model Rule 1.7, a conflict exists when representing one client is directly adverse to another, or when there's a significant risk that representation will be materially limited by the lawyer's responsibilities to another client.

How often should I run conflict checks?

Run a conflict check before accepting any new matter, when new parties are added to existing matters, and periodically for ongoing representations. Many jurisdictions require this as an ethical obligation.

Can conflicts be waived?

Some conflicts can be waived with informed written consent from all affected clients (Rule 1.7(b)). However, some conflicts are non-waivable, such as when representation involves asserting a claim by one client against another in the same proceeding.

Is this conflict of interest checker free?

Yes. This conflict check tool for law firms is 100 percent free with no signup. It performs basic name-matching and role analysis to flag potential conflicts before you accept a new matter.

What is the difference between a direct and a positional conflict?

A direct conflict means you would represent parties whose interests are directly adverse in the same matter. A positional conflict means taking a legal position for one client that could harm a different client in an unrelated matter. Both require disclosure and often informed written consent.
