White, C.J.,
concurring.
In State ex rel. Freezer Servs., Inc. v. Mullen, 235 Neb. 981, 986, 458 N.W.2d 245, 249 (1990), the court framed the issue as follows: “[WJhether a law firm which represents one party in a pending lawsuit must be disqualified from further representation of that party when the law firm hires attorneys and personnel who have worked closely with and represented the opposing party in that same litigation.” (Emphasis supplied.) We answered in the affirmative.
In my judgment, that statement contains the sole test for disqualification of counsel. I concur.
