Event Description:	Sonnenschein partner Bill Barker presents "Attorney-Client Privilege and Work Protection in Insurance Bad Faith Cases" during a Webinar sponsored by Lexis-Nexis Insurance Law Center on February 14. Course Description: "Those with bad faith claims against insurers commonly view the insurer’s communications with its lawyers and the lawyers’ work product as especially valuable evidence for proving bad faith. Indeed, when trying to compel production, they commonly describe this information as essential to proof of their claims. Yet attorney-client communications and attorney work product are generally protected from discovery. While bad faith plaintiffs have made substantial efforts to pierce these protections, sometimes successfully, insurers continue to resist discovery of privileged and work product materials, also with considerable success. This webinar reviews the current state of the law on these issues and critically analyzes the arguments generally advanced." Click here to view the full Webinar.
