    Outside Counsel Guidelines – Washington DC

    The District of Columbia Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct Review Committee is consulting on proposed amendments to the D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct that would address issues arising from client-generated engagement letters and outside counsel guidelines.  These would limit certain practices that: (1) restrict the ability of prospective clients to engage counsel of their choice; (2) impose restrictions on lawyers’ independence and right to practice; (3) can render outside counsel liable for damages sustained by clients or others through no fault of such counsel; (4) restrict a lawyer’s right to retain a copy of a client’s file, including the lawyer’s work product; (5) restrict a lawyer’s right to make use of general, non-confidential information acquired in the course of a representation; and (6) can compel outside counsel to accept clients’ unilateral changes in the terms of a representation.
