| What the lawyer must review | Model Rule 1.6(a) provides that a lawyer shall not reveal information relating to the representation unless the client gives informed consent, the disclosure is impliedly authorized in order to carry out the representation, or paragraph (b) permits the disclosure. Paragraph (c) requires reasonable efforts against inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure. Model Rule 1.1 requires competent preparation of the alert, including recognising a client fact. You decide whether any permission in paragraph (a) or (b) applies before the alert is sent. |

## Notes

- A hypothetical that a reader can match to a client is still information relating to the representation until you decide otherwise.
- The state's version of Rule 1.6 governs the lawyers admitted there.
