Understanding a Lawyer’s Legal Obligations: Do They Have to Respond to Inquiry Letters?
Question from a reader:
I saw the news that Noritake Furuichi sent a letter of inquiry to Xko’s lawyer. Does the lawyer have a legal obligation to respond to those questions? I don’t think Furuichi is Nakai Masahiro’s representative or affiliated with him, so I’m curious if there’s a necessity for a response. Can someone knowledgeable provide clarity on this?
