Wisconsin Business and Commercial Litigation

Although it’s not Wisconsin-related yet, those of you in in-house practice want to keep a close eye (if you haven’t already been) on a case currently up on appeal from the First Circuit to the Supreme Court:  U.S. v. Textron.  The issue in the case is the viability of the work product privilege as it relates to the work of in-house counsel.  Susan Hackett of the Association of Corporate Counsel filed an amicus brief with the court, and writes a great post on the topic.  As I said, although it’s not a Wisconsin court, the case will impact what you do for your company and how you do it.
