[§658G-11]  Governmental entity as party.  (a)  The disqualification of section 658G-9(a) applies to a collaborative lawyer representing a party that is a government or governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality.

     (b)  After a collaborative law process concludes, another lawyer in a law firm with which the collaborative lawyer is associated may represent a government or governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality in the collaborative matter or a matter related to the collaborative matter if:

     (1)  The collaborative law participation agreement so provides; and

     (2)  The collaborative lawyer is isolated from any participation in the collaborative matter or a matter related to the collaborative matter through procedures within the law firm which are reasonably calculated to isolate the collaborative lawyer from that participation.
