M.R. Prof. Conduct 2.3
EVALUATION FOR USE BY THIRD PERSONS
(a) A lawyer may provide an evaluation of a matter affecting a client
for the use of someone other than the client if the lawyer reasonably
believes that making the evaluation is compatible with other aspects
of the lawyer’s relationship with the client.
(b) When the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the
evaluation is likely to affect the client’s interests materially and
adversely, the lawyer shall not provide the evaluation unless the
client gives informed consent.
(c) Except as disclosure is authorized in connection with a report of
an evaluation, confidences and secrets are otherwise protected by
Rule 1.6.
