Conflict of Interests

“A lawyer shall not engage in another occupation in circumstances in which a conflict of interest may arise between his employment as a lawyer and the other occupation”.

The prohibition to act in a conflict of interest means that one must refrain from acting in a conflict between two different interests, For example, a contractor’s attorney cannot represent an apartment buyer, other than registration operations.

In some cases, a lawyer is not allowed to be in a compound where a conflict of interest may arise.
In such a case the lawyer can neutralize the dangers lurking for him and act properly.

The legislature left the matter to the discretion of the lawyer while placing restrictions, a kind of protection for the lawyer as well as for the client.
