Kelly is a licensed paralegal who works as an associate in a law firm. She had an initial consultation meeting with Sally on a Small Claims Court matter related to a burn that Sally sustained on her legs when using an ultraviolet tanning bed at the Sun-A-Soleil tanning salon. After the meeting Kelly thought the name of the tanning salon seemed familiar. She searched the conflict checking system at her law firm and identified that her firm is already defending Sun-A-Soleil in two other personal injury claims made by other customers. Based on the provided information, what steps is Kelly required to take with regard to Sally’s legal matter to fulfil her professional obligations as a licensed paralegal?
