The attorney should limit the response to matters to which they have given substantive attention in the form of legal consultation or representation. This is to maintain confidentiality and protect the attorney-client privilege. They should not disclose any information beyond what is necessary to answer the inquiry. Limiting the response to litigations in process or asserted claims could result in a partial response that does not address all relevant matters. Limiting the response to items that the attorney believes will result in loss to the client may also be too narrow, as there may be other relevant matters that are not directly related to financial loss.
