Description: The process of performing a conflict check may vary among law firms, but the essence remains consistent. Attorneys, bound by fiduciary duty, cannot represent parties with conflicting interests. Such an act puts them in a position of risking disqualification or malpractice claims. Establishing an airtight conflict-checking system is vital for every law firm, safeguarding the attorney and the client’s best interests. It is a paralegal’s role to extract conflict information before attorneys engage in extensive conversations with a potential client. It is important for paralegals at any level of their career to be well-versed in this process.
