Conflicts of Interests

A conflict of interests is a situation where there exists a risk that one’s professional loyalty, conduct or judgment might be impaired by another (conflicting) interest.

Such conflicts may arise especially:

  • between the interests of two different clients of Firm;
  • between the interests of Firm and the interests of a client; or
  • between the interests of a particular Firm team member on one side and the interests of Firm or the client on the other.

It is important to note that no real or pending conflict is required in order for the respective rules to be triggered. The mere possibility of such a conflict is sufficient.
