M.R. Prof. Conduct 6.3
MEMBERSHIP IN LEGAL SERVICES ORGANIZATION
A lawyer may serve as a director, officer or member of a legal services
organization, apart from the law firm in which the lawyer practices,
notwithstanding that the organization serves persons having interests
adverse to a client of the lawyer. The lawyer shall not knowingly participate in
a decision or action of the organization:
(a) if participating in the decision or action would be incompatible
with the lawyer’s obligations to a client under Rule 1.7; or
(b) where the decision or action could have a material adverse effect
on the representation of a client of the organization whose interests
are adverse to a client of the lawyer.
