In Re the People of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff v. Conley M. Hoskins and Jane Medicals, LLC, De — Rice, J…

Summary

Chief Justice Rice dissented from the reversal of the trial court's order disqualifying PMW from representing Hoskins and Jane Medicals. She would have held that the trial court acted within its broad discretion in finding materially adverse interests because Hoskins could shift blame to All Care employees and PMW possessed confidential information obtained during its prior representation of All Care. She concluded that the record established a substantial risk of divided loyalty and that severance would not cure the conflict.
