Hi, Diane -
As to "b", I think that the firm is clearly conflicted out. I don't think an
attorney with whom one office-shares is barred, but I think I would do full
disclosure of that fact.

I have several questions for anyone interested in responding:
1. If a lawyer in a "Firm" signs a collaborative agreement in a case, is it
kosher for that lawyer to
a.) have an associate or partner fill in at a 4-way meeting for example if the
signed attorney is unavailable?
b.) if the CL process busts out, can another attorney in the "FIRM" become
trial counsel? What about an attorney that the CL attorney office shares
with?
2. Who is using a multi-discipline team approach in their cases from the
beginning of the case? How is this working? There seems to be two strains of
CL forming in the country, possibly with lots of crossover?
your thoughts and experience are welcome.
