Understand what attorneyexpert communications are protected and which ones are not.The outcome of many cases turns on the use of experts. But experts have to understand your case to provide useful opinions, and that means that you need to interact with them. In so doing, you run the very real risk of providing the expert with information that may or may not be helpful to your client’s cause. So, what do you do when opposing counsel tries to use the discovery process to find out what you and your experts discussed? This information will help you understand the various privileges in play whenever you work with an expert. You will come to know the different ways that the law distinguishes between inhouse experts and those who are specially retained for the litigation and between testifying and nontestifying experts. You will learn, in a realworld sense, what you can and can’t share with the various types of experts you may encounter.
