Consequently, Attorney Yolanda did not learn any material confidential information about the price-fixing lawsuit, including information about the manufacturer, any facts that were in dispute, or legal strategies. Three years later, Attorney Yolanda left that firm and took a position with the State Attorney General, where she was assigned to assist with the ongoing price-fixing lawsuit.
