explain conflict of interest for an attorney
Law firms, or other attorneys within the same law firm, can also have conflicts of interest. For example, it is considered a conflict of interest for an attorney in the same firm to represent an opposing party in a case where a member of the firm is representing the other party. few exceptions exist, but only if all clients are informed of the conflict of interest and written consent to proceed is provided. For example, one attorney shouldn't represent both the husband and the wife in a divorce case nor should an attorney represent both the mother and the father in a child custody case.
