Lehman Brothers and Weil: Another Privilege Opening?
Weil, Gotshal & Manges, Lehman Brothers' lead bankruptcy counsel, is in the process of turning over documents related to the controversial sale of some of Lehman's prime assets to Barclays in the days after Lehman's Sept. 15, 2008, bankruptcy filing. Many of those documents were formerly protected by attorney-client privilege, though it is unclear whether any of them will ever make it to the public eye, according to a source familiar with the matter.
