How does Plexus deal with conflicts of interest? If one of the firms has a conflict, does that conflict out all three firms?
Conflicts are dealt with by each of the Plexus firms in the same way that conflicts are dealt with outside the context of Plexus and in accordance with the rules of professional responsibility in the relevant state or states or province. If one of the firms has a real or perceived conflict with a client on a given transaction, that firm would not participate in the transaction. However, the conflict of one of the Plexus firms would not have any bearing on the ability of the other two firms to go forward and represent the client on the transaction.
