Conflict of Interest - City Attorney - Part-Time

Private Practice.

 

November 13, 1984

 

As long as a part-time town or city attorney is representing private

clients as an attorney engaged in the private practice of law, the part-

time town or city attorney may represent his private clients in an action

against an adverse party in an individual capacity even though the adverse

party is an attorney and the mayor of the same town or city. However, the

part-time town or city attorney may not represent any parties to a matter

in which the mayor of the same town or city is an adverse party by virtue

of the position the attorney occupies as mayor of the same town or city.
