Generally, I would say no, but look at Sections/Rules 9-11 of the UCLA, which
addresses the issue for governmental and pro bono firms/clients. It may depend
on your state's statutes if they have passed a version of the UCLA.

Subject: [CollabLaw] Is entire law firm conflicted off of litigated divorce
after Collaborative process terminates?
Our signed Collaborative Practice Agreement does not specifically address this
issue, and I could not find a clear answer in the IACP Standards and Ethics.
Can anyone direct me to a rule or other resource for a definitive answer as to
whether another attorney in my firm can handle a litigated divorce subsequent
to my representation of one party in the Collaborative process?
Thank you,
Cindy
