Written informed consent by which a client waives a disclosed conflict of interest and consents to the attorney's continued representation, per ABA Model Rule 1.7 or applicable state rules.
The Conflict of Interest Waiver (Informed Consent) is a ready-to-use legal & compliance template you can send for signature in minutes. It is written for 2 signers (attorney and client) and, by default, expires 30 days after it is sent if left unsigned. It covers conflict of interest, waiver, ethics, attorney, informed consent. Like every Abundera Sign template it is a convenience draft structured for ESIGN Act and UETA compliance, not a substitute for legal advice. Each signed copy is sealed with PAdES-LTA digital signatures, dual RFC 3161 timestamps, and a tamper-evident evidence package in WORM storage.
