Attorneys employed or retained by the Department of Law who participate in any process utilized for the purpose of determining whether the Department of Law should provide representation to a City officer or employee undertake a full and traditional attorney-client relationship with the City officer or employee with respect to application of the attorney-client privilege. If the Department of Law authorizes such representation, attorneys employed or retained by the Department of Law who represent a City officer or employee undertake a full and traditional attorney-client relationship with the City officer or employee with respect to the attorney-client privilege. Any adverse information communicated by the City officer or employee to an attorney during such attorney-client relationship shall not be disclosed to anyone, inside or outside the Department of Law, other than attorneys responsible for representation of the City officer or employee, unless the City officer or employee authorizes such disclosure.
