General Matters You will have the right to make all business decisions, including whether to settle any dispute with adverse parties, and including whether to proceed with the purchase transaction. The scope of our representation will be determined by you. We will make reasonably available to you all written materials sent or received by us pertaining to your representation. Copies of all such materials will be provided to you at your request. Certain communications between you and members of our firm are governed by the so- called "attorney - client privilege." The privilege allows you to disclose to us documents and other relevant information in connection with litigation or any other matter on which you may be seeking advice as a client, without fear of disclosure of such material by us. The attorney - client privilege is, however, subject to some exceptions and should any issues regarding confidentiality arise, we would be happy to discuss the workings of the attorney - client privilege with you. You agree that we will have the right to communicate directly with any of you, and that none of you, between yourselves, will claim that we had no right to communicate with any other of you based on the attorney - client privilege. We reserve the right to withdraw from representing you for any reason as permitted or required under the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct for lawyers. You, of course, reserve the right to terminate our representation at any time for any reason whatsoever. In the event either of us desires to terminate further legal representation, we will make such termination in writing, and you will promptly pay for all legal services rendered as of that date and for all fees, charges and expenses incurred by us as of that date. As of the date of termination, there will be no charge for further legal services other than as agreed to by you.
