    Challenges to Privilege in International Investigations

    By Olivia Radin | May 15, 2018

    There has been more talk than usual of late about the attorney-client privilege, particularly after the FBI executed a search warrant on the offices of President Trump's personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen. Putting that extraordinary situation aside, there have been a few slightly more run-of-the-mill developments over the last year that have reminded us that privilege can be a fragile thing, and one we must work hard to protect.

    Recoverable Damages in Trade Secret and Unfair Competition Claims

    By Michael Hoenig | May 11, 2018

    Complex Litigation columnist Michael Hoenig writes: On May 3, New York's highest court issued a decision clarifying the state's common law on the extent of damages recoverable in cases asserting claims of misappropriated trade secrets, unfair competition and unjust enrichment. Though the holding is important enough on the merits for litigators to digest, there is also some “entertainment” value in seeing how the jurists marshal their arguments. The subject matter is not easy but it is quite relevant in today's litigious, technological world.
