Federal E-Discovery: ‘Pearlstein’ Offers a Primer on Privilege and Waiver

Litigation partners Christopher Boehning and Daniel Toal’s latest Federal E-Discovery column appeared in the April 2 issue of the New York Law Journal. The article, “’Pearlstein’ Offers a Primer on Privilege and Waiver,” discusses S.D.N.Y. Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker’s decision in Pearlstein v. BlackBerry Ltd., which provides guidance to practitioners and parties on privilege and waiver issues. Notably, Judge Parker opined on three issues that often impact e-discovery and litigation practice – privilege logs, legal holds, and subject-matter waiver. E-Discovery Counsel Ross Gotler and E-Discovery Attorney Lidia Kekis assisted in the preparation of this article.
