Event Synopsis:
In today's era of patent litigation, the inadvertent disclosure of privileged material may cause financial and reputational damage to companies. Such threats may be avoided with the aid of Federal Rule of Evidence (FRE) 502(d) which refers to “disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work-product protection.” The rule enforces an agreement between parties with regard to waiver binding with third parties and allows the court to enter such an order where parties cannot or will not agree. Additionally, Rule 502(d) allows parties and the court to protect against waiver both for inadvertent and knowing disclosures privileged information. The rule also provides protection to litigants in the event of inadvertent production. Clearly, the rule provides substantial benefits which most litigants fail to take advantage.
In a two-hour Live Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will offer the audience with an in-depth discussion of the fundamental aspects of FRE 502(d). The panel will present their expert thoughts and opinions on how to maximize the opportunities and minimize risks offered by FRE 502(d).
Key topics include:
- Federal Rule of Evidence (FRE) 502(d) - An Overview
- Purpose of 502(d)
- Expanding Waiver Protections
- Opportunities and Pitfalls in Rule 502(d)
- Scope and Limitations
- Requirements of Rule 502
