Representation of Other Clients; Waiver of Potential Conflicts Sample Clauses

Representation of Other Clients; Waiver of Potential Conflicts a. The City understand that currently, and from time to time, the Firms represent other municipalities, governmental agencies, governmental subdivisions, or investor-owned public water utilities in other actions or similar litigation, and that such work is the focus of the Firms’ practice. Further, the City understands that the Firms represent other clients in actions similar to what would be brought under this Agreement and against the same potential defendants. The City understands that a recovery obtained on behalf of another client in a similar suit against the same defendants could, in theory, reduce the total pool of funds available from these same defendants to pay damages in a Legal Action brought under this Agreement. The City understands that the Firms would not take on this engagement if the City required the Firms to forgo representations like those described above. The City has conferred with its own separate and independent counsel about this matter, and has determined that it is in its own best interests to waive any and all potential or actual conflicts of interest that may occur as the result of the Firms’ current and continuing representation of cities and other water supplier in similar litigations, because such waiver enables the City to obtain the benefits of the Firms’ experience and expertise.

Therefore, Client consents that the Firms may continue to handle such work, and may take on similar new clients and matters, without disclosing each such new matter to Client or seeking the consent of Client while representing it. The Firms shall not, of course, take on such other work if it requires the Firms to be directly adverse to Client while the Firms are still representing Client under this Agreement.
