FAQ

While the attorney-client privilege is recognized in Indian law, its application and nuances are often subject to ambiguity and inconsistency. The Indian Evidence Act, 1872, provides some protection for attorney-client communications, but the rules lack specific guidelines, leading to uncertainty.

Dating a client can raise serious ethical concerns, primarily because it can create a conflict of interest. When an attorney enters into a personal relationship with a client, it can compromise their ability to remain objective and advocate effectively on behalf of the client.

It is not enough to say “well, we didn't have sexual intercourse” or “we didn't get to know one another in the Biblical sense.” Kissing a client, even if the attorney exercises self-restraint with respect to any further sexual activity, runs afoul of California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.8.

Professional Ethics: Most legal ethical codes strongly discourage or outright prohibit lawyers from engaging in romantic relationships with clients during representation. This is to maintain professional boundaries and ensure that the lawyer-client relationship is based solely on the client's legal needs.

Conflict of interest: Romantic involvement can cloud judgment, leading to compromised legal representation or decisions in favor of personal relationships. Confidentiality breaches: Intimate relationships may result in inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information, violating attorney-client privilege.

Except when created by court appointment, the attorney-client relationship may be found to exist based on the intent and conduct of the parties and the reasonable expectations of the potential client.

The establishment of the attorney-client relationship involves two elements: a person seeks advice or assistance from an attorney; and the attorney appears to give, agrees to give or gives the advice or assistance.

California courts have held that an attorney-client relationship can only be created by contract.
