12.1 General Position
We are a multi-client firm and, as such, may act for other clients whose interests are the same as, compete with, or are potentially adverse to yours. We will always act in accordance with our professional and ethical obligations, including the duty of confidentiality and independence.
12.2 Managing Conflicts
If a **conflict of interest** arises between:
* Us and you, or
* You and another client,
and the conflict can be managed through appropriate safeguards (e.g. information barriers, separate teams), we will implement those safeguards to protect your interests. You will be informed promptly where a conflict arises.
12.3 Unresolvable Conflicts
If we identify a conflict of interest that **cannot be adequately managed**, or where continuing to act would breach our professional obligations, we regret that we will have to withdraw from the engagement. You will be notified immediately in such cases.
12.4 Ongoing Right to Act for Others
During and after this engagement, you agree that we may continue to act for other clients, including those whose interests may conflict with yours, provided we do so without breaching our confidentiality or independence obligations.
