Communication with persons represented by Counsel

A

In the course of a representation, a lawyer must not communicate about the subject of representation with a person the lawyer knows is represented by another lawyer in the matter, unless the lawyer: (1) has the consent of the other lawyer, or (2) is authorized to do so by law

When the represented party is an organization, the lawyer must obtain the consent of the organization’s counsel before communicating with a constituent of the organization: (i) who supervises or regularly consults with the organization’s lawyer about the matter, (ii) who has authority to obligate the organization with respect to the matter, or (iii) whose conduct in the matter may be imputed to the organization
