- Attorneys
The legal services
provided by the attorneys for the Plan shall be
provided in accordance with the professional and ethical standards
required of attorneys. Attorneys providing legal services shall
adhere to the rules and regulations of the Plan but shall receive no
further information, direction or interference from the Union, its offi-
cers and agents or from the Board of Trustees.
Any attorney providing
legal services under the Plan will have an
attorney-client relationship with the individual Member or his or her
Dependent who is receiving the legal services. The attorney has
the same exclusive professional duty and obligation to the Member
or Dependent as would be required with any other client who would
normally retain the attorney on a private fee basis. Any attorneys
providing legal services under the Plan shall maintain the confiden-
tiality of the attorney-client relationship in accordance with the
applicable professional standards.
