The following are resources that may be helpful in answering your enquiry. Please familiarize yourself with them before moving on.
In brief: Conflicts may arise where clients (current or former) are not necessarily adverse in interest, but where, for example, a lawyer’s duty of confidentiality (Code rule 3.3-1 conflicts with their duty of honesty and candour (Code rule 3.2-2). Consent and/or the use of ethical screens can but will not always solve the conflict. These can be tough circumstances to navigate so please feel welcome to contact a Practice Advisor to discuss.
Code - Confidential information: BC Code rule 3.3-1 and 3.3-1 commentary [6].
