Colo. LLP RPC 1.6
Confidentiality of Information
(a) An LLP shall not reveal information relating to the representation of a client unless
the client gives informed consent, the disclosure is impliedly authorized in order to carry
out the representation, or the disclosure is permitted by paragraph (b).
(b) An LLP may reveal information relating to the representation of a client to the
extent the LLP reasonably believes necessary:
(1) to prevent reasonably certain death or substantial bodily harm;
(2) to reveal the client’s intention to commit a crime and the information necessary to
prevent the crime;
(3) to prevent the client from committing a fraud that is reasonably certain to result in
substantial injury to the financial interests or property of another and in furtherance of
which the client has used or is using the LLP’s services;
(4) to prevent, mitigate, or rectify substantial injury to the financial interests or
property of another that is reasonably certain to result or has resulted from the client’s
commission of a crime or fraud in furtherance of which the client has used the LLP’s
services;
(5) to secure legal advice about the LLP’s compliance with these Rules, other law or
a court order;
(6) to establish a claim or defense on behalf of the LLP in a controversy between the
LLP and the client, to establish a defense to a criminal charge or civil claim against the
LLP based upon conduct in which the client was involved, or to respond to allegations in
any proceeding concerning the LLP’s representation of the client;
(7) to detect and resolve conflicts of interest arising from the LLP’s change of
employment or from changes in the composition or ownership of a firm, but only if the
revealed information is not protected by any LLP or attorney-client privilege and its
revelation is not reasonably likely to otherwise materially prejudice the client; or
(8) to comply with other law or a court order.
(c) An LLP shall make reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized
disclosure of, or unauthorized access to, information relating to the representation of a
client.
