Internal Communications. The occasion might arise for the Firm’s attorneys providing service to the client to consult with the Firm’s own counsel (other firm lawyers who do not perform work for the client with respect to the engagement, or the Firm’s own outside counsel) regarding the Firm’s representation of the client. To the extent the Firm is addressing the Firm’s own rights or responsibilities, a conflict of interest might be deemed to exist between the Firm and the client as to such consultation or resulting communications, particularly if a dispute were ever to arise between the Firm and the client regarding Bonds or matters relating to the issuance of Bonds. The client hereby consents to such consultation occurring and waives any claim of conflict of interest based on such consultation or resulting communications that could otherwise disqualify the Firm from continuing to represent the client or from acting in the Firm’s own behalf, even if such consultation or communications might be deemed adverse to the interests of the client. The client acknowledges and agrees that any such consulting and communications are protected from disclosure to the client by the Firm’s own attorney-client privilege.
