The short answer is yes, assuming that your current attorney is comfortable with it. I recently was retained to come into a case for the sole purpose of negotiating settlement and although the existing attorney was probably a touch uncomfortable with the situation, we both understood that it was to the benefit of the client and the case quickly settled.
