Adam v. MacDonald Page & Co.
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Decided July 11, 1994PublishedCited by 13 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
CLIFFORD, Justice.
Macdonald Page & Company appeals from an order entered in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Bradford, J.) disqualifying the law firm of Friedman & Babcock from representing Macdonald Page in this malpractice litigation brought by Robert L. Adam. Because we agree with Macdonald Page that the court inappropriately applied M.Bar R. 3.4 to the facts of this case, we vacate the order and remand for determination of whether, in representing Adam in a prior proceeding, Friedman & Babcock acquired confidential information that may be used against Adam in this case.
