Among the topics receiving in-depth treatment are what constitutes an “attorney,” “client,” and “communication” for purposes of the privilege; choice-of-law issues; waiver; and exceptions to the privilege.

Mayer Brown LLP
PRACTITIONER’S DESKBOOK ON EVIDENCE
Edited by Ethan A. Hastert and Oral D. Pottinger
Readers of the Deskbook will receive useful information and best practices for addressing the discovery of electronically stored information (ESI) in U.S. cases. Litigators, legal professionals, or individuals that confront ESI discovery as part of a pending case will find practical tips on how to request this evidence — along with the discovery and evidence rule obstacles they must overcome. The book addresses considerations such as approaching near-identical files, litigation hold management, “clawback” agreements for privileged materials, spoliation, and government investigations. In-house counsel and compliance specialists will also find helpful guidance for developing defensible, court-tested policies for identifying, preserving, collecting, preparing and producing ESI — whether it is hosted in the United States or abroad.
