These duties are closely related to those regarding confidential information. A lawyer is responsible
for maintaining the safety and confidentiality of the files of the client in the possession of the lawyer
and should take all reasonable steps to ensure the privacy and safekeeping of a client’s confidential
information. A lawyer should keep the client’s papers and other property out of sight as well as out
of reach of those not entitled to see them.

Subject to any rights of lien, the lawyer should promptly return a client’s property to the client on
request or at the conclusion of the lawyer’s retainer.
