(2) a real or apparent situation of conflict of interest or a situation in which the member’s professional independence could be questioned;
(3) the prospect that maintaining the professional services could, in the member’s opinion, become more harmful than beneficial for the client;
(4) inducement by their client or a relative of the client to perform acts that are illegal or contrary to the provisions of this Code;
(5) non-compliance by the client with the conditions agreed on for services to be provided, including professional fees, and the impossibility of negotiating a reasonable agreement with the client to reinstate the services; and
