Connecticut Rules of Professional Conduct (Connecticut Practice Book) 2.3: Evaluations for use by third persons

What does 2.3 require?

A lawyer may assess a matter that affects a client for the benefit of a third party where the lawyer reasonably believes the assessment fits with the rest of the relationship. Where the lawyer knows or should know that the assessment is likely to have a material and adverse effect on the client's interests, the client's informed consent is required first. Apart from what is authorised to be disclosed with the report, the information involved stays protected by Rule 1.6.
