The case

Your firm has served client A, a market leader, for years. A request for proposal arrives from B, A's direct competitor, for a commercial strategy project that would touch sensitive information about the same market. B's potential revenue is high and the sales partner is pushing. But A could perceive a betrayal and you're exposed ethically. The decision is yours within 48 hours. How do you assess and manage the conflict of interest in a defensible way?
