It would have been wise if Attorney had had Manager sign a letter agreeing to the joint representation. Attorney should have obtained Manager's agreement that, with respect to any form of attorney-client privileged conversations between Manager and Attorney, Attorney could disclose to the Company any information provided. Attorney also should have advised Manager that Attorney was not representing him with regard to his own employment. With this documentation in place, Manager's claims that he was never advised of Attorney's scope of representation would have been much less credible.
