Sintesi Legislator

Generato dall'IA

The appellate court affirmed a disciplinary action against a lawyer for breaching professional rules, specifically citing an impermissible conflict of interest under Art. 12 lit. a and c of the Attorneys Act, because the lawyer represented a stock corporation in proceedings concerning a special audit while simultaneously serving as a member of that corporation's board of directors, where the audit concerned actions in which the lawyer was involved. The court reasoned that the lawyer's representation directly implicated his own conduct as a board member in relation to the disputed transaction being investigated, thereby creating a direct personal conflict regardless of any purported trustee relationship, and further upheld disciplinary measures for improper dual representation involving the evaluation of a challenge letter and for improperly billing the corporation for the disciplinary proceedings against himself as a board member.
