The defendant below in an action seeking rescission of a contract for the sale of a condominium unit seeks certiorari review of an order disqualifying its chosen counsel, Coffey Burlington, on the grounds that the law firm had previously personally represented one of the principals of the plaintiff LLC in unrelated matters. Without exploring any other infirmity in the order, the simple, acknowledged fact that counsel did not represent the plaintiff itself and thus cannot be in forbidden conflict with its interests renders the order completely unsupportable. Gonzalez v. Chillura, 892 So.2d 1075 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004) (finding that attorney’s representation of a shareholder in a derivative suit did not create an attorney-client relationship between the attorney or his law firm and the corpora*606tion and therefore, did not establish a basis for conflict in the shareholder’s subsequent direct actions against the corporation); Anderson Trucking Serv., Inc. v. Gibson, 884 So.2d 1046, 1048 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004) (“One seeking to disqualify opposing counsel [is] required to show that ... an attorney/client relationship existed .... ”)(citing State Fam Mutual Auto. Ins. Co. v. K.A.W., 575 So.2d 630, 634 (Fla.1991)); State v. Rabin, 495 So.2d 257 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986)(“The burden of establishing the existence of an attorney-client relationship rests with the claimant.”). Accordingly, the order is quashed.
Certiorari granted.
