What is the impact of a concurrent representation of a client by an attorney and an agent?

The court also noted that "[t]he threat of an adversarial relationship (and the concomitant conflict between the attorney's duty to the client and his or her self-protective instincts) is a significant factor when considering the applicability of the indemnity prohibition in diverse factual situations, more significant than the chronological relationship of the parties." (Id. at p. 1544, fn. 4, citing Major Clients Agency v. Diemer (1998) 67 Cal.App.4th 1116 in which the court held the same public policy considerations present in the subsequent attorney malpractice cases were applicable to the concurrent representation of a client by an agent and an attorney and barred the agent's action against the client's attorney for negligence because the agent "was a potential adverse party on the issue of commission obligations by [the] client to [the agent]." (Id. at pp. 1132-1133.).)
