Latham Atty's 2010 Notes Fair Game In Fluor-Zurich Trial
Law360 (May 28, 2021, 4:32 PM EDT) -- Fluor Corp. must hand over notes written by its Latham & Watkins LLP trial counsel that purportedly document the company's 2010 demands for Zurich American Insurance Co. to settle lead contamination suits on its behalf, a Missouri federal judge has ruled.
Fluor waived its rights to privilege over Latham partner John Wilson's handwritten records when it decided to call the attorney as a witness in its upcoming coverage trial with Zurich, U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber found Wednesday, while also opening the door for further deposition of Wilson following "obstructive" testimony.
