Recently, a federal district court denied a motion for a protective order
to prevent the disclosure of litigation hold notices because it concluded
that the defendants did not intend for the notices to be kept confidential
as attorney-client communications, and the notices did not constitute
attorney work product to otherwise prevent their disclosure.[1]

Although this decision appears to be an outlier, it serves as a reminder
about how to draft and disseminate legal hold notices[2]

so that both the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine apply,
therefore preventing the disclosure of the notices.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
