Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
If the insurance company obtains "outside council" to represent the insured, should the lawyer be providing a disclosure or representation agreement to the insured?

While it is generally considered "best practices" to have a services agreement with a client when you are hired by their insurance carrier to represent them, there is nothing that requires it. Written agreements are only required by law and the State Bar rules when the client is paying the attorneys' fees.
