Compare General Motors Corporation v. City of New York, 501 F.2d 639, 650 (2d Cir.1974) ("Indeed, the question of `sideswitching,' and of the conflict of interest which is almost certain to arise when counsel changes sides is addressed by Canon 4 and not Canon 9. * * * The ethical problem raised here, we repeat, does not stem from the breach of confidentiality bred by a conflict of interest but from the possibility that a lawyer might wield Government power with a view toward subsequent private gain.").
