  • What ethical obstacles must an attorney consider before undertaking such joint/multiple client representation?
  • What ethical obstacles may a lawyer face during the joint representation of a large group of clients in a mass tort action, and how should those issues be addressed in accordance with a lawyer’s ethical obligations?
