We have an real estate attorney's firm as a new customer and they want to open multiple accounts acting as the intermediary for their clients for 1031 exchanges. Who do we conduct CIP for, the client, whose name & TIN will be used, or the attorney's office rep who is appointed the intermediary for the client?

You need to determine who has authority and control over the account. If the attorney is the one with authority and control, then you CIP the attorney. If the attorney's client has authority and control, then you CIP the client.
