   others, former members of association's board of directors, alleging fraud, negligent misrepresentation,
   breach of fiduciary duty, and unlawful trade practices. This court denied defendants' motion to
   disqualify plaintiff s law firm, holding that it was not disqualified from representing plaintiff under the
   Oregon  Rules of Professional Conduct. The court noted that, according to Restatement Third of the Law
   Governing Lawyers  § 1, many district courts had adopted the standards and rules governing the
   professional conduct of lawyers that applied in the jurisdiction in which the court sat and that the
   Oregon  Supreme Court had adopted the Oregon Rules of Professional Conduct. Quatama Park

   medical malpractice asserted by a hospital. This court granted plaintiff s motion to disqualify, holding,

   consent to represent plaintiff during negotiations with government officials when it communicated with
   plaintiff through an engagement letter explicitly describing its services as legal services and
   describing its relationship to plaintiff as being plaintiff s legal counsel. Academy of Allergy &
