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.
