As expected, it is important that the attorney representing their clients should keep all cases and information between clients confidential. However, when it comes to the clients communicating together outside of the courtroom, or away from the attorney, there is much less control that can be had on that situation. However, due to the required professionalism of the attorney, they must remain professional and keep all client information confidential when moving through a case.If an attorney is to get involved with a client who has an adverse relationship with a prior client, the only issue that could potentially come up there is if the representation involves the same situation. It could be a conflict of interest, and cause many issues for the attorney and clients at large, depending on the severity of the situation. The same is true for husbands and wives. Having representation for a personal relationship could be seen as biased, and the attorney, regardless of how honest they are, could have more potential to do whatever they need to do to benefit their significant other.The whole reason for these boundaries to be put in place, is so that there is written documentation of boundaries that are spelled out for those who many come across ethical difficulties. There will always be situations where outside parties, whether they be relatives or conflicts of interest, are bound to get involved in attorney services, and having an established set of rules on how to handles those situations can better assist the attorney in how to move forward in those situations.Resource:State Bar of Arizona.

Although lawyers are allowed to represent their spouses, they must be really careful in not letting their emotions influence their ability to represent the client, especially if it will be materially limited by the relationship. Unless the client gives consent and both parties are comfortable enough to proceed, then they can move on with working the case.ReferenceRules of professional conduct rule 1.7: Conflict of interest: Current clients.
