Conflicts 

We have performed a name check of our other clients to see if our representation of you  would create a conflict of interest for our Firm. That check was done using your name and other  names you gave us. Please inform us immediately if you use other names or have affiliated  entities that you wish us to check for possible conflicts. 

You understand that we may represent other parties in your industry (and may have  certain ownership or participation interests in related business ventures), and that conflicts of  interest may arise between you and other clients of the Firm. If we are aware of any conflict, we  will promptly advise you of the existence of the conflict, and we will try to assist in resolving the  conflict. If the conflict cannot be overcome, it may be necessary for us to withdraw from  representing you with respect to the matter as to which the conflict exists, in which case you may  have to engage separate counsel.
