p0406 An attorney-client relationship does not come into being by the unilateral declaration of either the attorney or client, but requires an express agreement between them, so a trial court erred in disqualifying an attorney from representing a corporation on the ground of conflict of interest after the attorney declared that he represented all managerial employees in an attempt to prevent opposing counsel from interviewing them.CitationKOO v RUBIO'S (Dual Representation) 109 CA4 719 [See: Rules of PC 2100, 3310; Gilbert v National 71 CA4 1240, T/AT 6/99; Fox v Pollack 181 CA3 954; Responsible Citizens v Superior Court 16 CA4 1717]
