Michael Nadel reviewed preserving attorney-client privilege for Law360 (May 26). He noted that many lawyers "completely misunderstand privilege law and are therefore unable to use this powerful tool to their clients' advantage," often because inexperienced lawyers try to extend privilege to conversations not involving legal advice. Mr. Nadel said "it is important for more experienced lawyers to be involved" in privilege decisions and recommended that firms train at least one partner and associate in the issues. "Even if these people aren't on your case's team," he stated, "you need to have someone in the office you can go to for help with privilege issues." That is especially true in aggressive attacks on opposing counsel's privilege assertions. "Those in glass houses can't throw stones," Mr. Nadel warned. "If you haven't done your job properly, all that will happen when you go after your opponents' [privilege] log is that they'll go after yours."

Michael S. Nadel was quoted in the September 19 issue of The Washington Business Journal in an article regarding a class action lawsuit filed against the Metropolitan Cooperative apartments in Washington, D.C. Residents filed a class action lawsuit against the cooperative, which recently filed for bankruptcy, alleging that because the building had not been properly converted to a co-op, it did not have the right to collect co-op fees from its residents. "The tenants were paying rent during this whole period of time. They believed they were paying for a lawful conversion and it turned out not to be a lawful conversion," said Mr. Nadel, who represents the residents in the lawsuit.
