Answer:

The answer is: The litigation lawyer must inform Mr. X (through his tax lawyer) and ask for approval from management or senior partnership.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. X is currently being serviced by ABC law firm. If Paula went to ABC seeking for them to sue Mr. X, then the following should be done:

  • First Mr. X must be informed through his ABC attorney about this issue.
  • Then ABC's management must consider this issue and decide whether to authorize Paula to be legally represented by them.

In my opinion Paula will have to look for an attorney somewhere else. ABC may earn some money with this trial but their public image will be damaged.
