Ex Parte Contact With Former Employees of Party-Opponents. A lawyer may contact unrepresented former employees of a party-opponent without obtaining consent from that party irrespective of the position formerly held by the ex-employee in the opposing organization.he provisions and commentary of Rule 4.2, however, lead to the conclusion that ex parte contact between a lawyer and a former employee of a party-opponent is permitted, subject to observance of certain safeguards.
Thus, the court held that Rule 4-4.2 was intended to specifically regulate an attorney's contact with a person represented by counsel and the rule neither contemplates nor prohibits an attorney's ex parte communications with former employees of a defendant-employer... Plaintiffs shall create and preserve a list of all former employees contacted and the date(s) of contact(s) and shall maintain and preserve any and all statements or notes resulting from such contacts, whether by phone or in person.
