Insurance - Multiple Clients.

 

April 22, 1986

 

It is not unethical for an insurer's counsel to tender offers to

coplaintiffs with the condition that if either rejects, then both offers

will be discontinued or withdrawn. The committee is of the view, however,

that the above described situation emphasizes the duty of the attorney for

the coplaintiffs to abide by DR:5-107. [DR:5-107]
