Lаwyer Leоnаrd hаs represented a client, Calpurnia, in the recent past. Althоugh Leоnard has no professional experience with franchises and no business or legal education about franchises, Calpurnia has asked Leonard to advise her (Calpurnia) on entering into a franchise relationship with a franchisor. Leonard warns Calpurnia that he has never handled any franchise cases, but Leonard states, truthfully, that he is, on his own time (at no charge for the client) building his knowledge base “up from basically zero” by spending many hours “reading up” on franchise law and practice. Calpurnia thus decides to pay Leonard a $4,000 retainer to represent her. Soon thereafter, Leonard is overwhelmed by the terms used in the franchise disclosure documents, the franchise agreement, and the operations manual; but Leonard continues to represent Calpurnia. Due to the inadequate representation, Calpurnia is irreparably harmed: she suffers economic loss from entering into a “lemon” of a franchise deal (i.e., a bad deal). Which rule of the ethical code of conduct governing lawyers has Leonard most likely violated?
