[Patentpractice] Patent lawyer as inventor on client's application?

[Patent Lawyer]

What issues / concerns are there with a patent attorney being named an inventor on their client's patent application?

Assume that the attorney will assign all rights in the invention to the client/applicant, should the attorney advise them to have someone else handle the assignment?

Are there privilege issues? (In a communication with the client, who are you? Attorney or co-inventor?)

Does the patent attorney have to advise the PTO?  Is there a conflict of any sort?
