Spencer Fane attorney John Watson recently authored a Law Week Colorado article on In re Jordan v. Terumo BCT, a recent case out of the Colorado Supreme Court that impacts attorney-client privilege and the duty of disclosure.
In his article, Colorado Supreme Court Dispels Some Misconceptions on Confidential Legal Communications, John outlines how in the toxic tort action case the Colorado Supreme Court engaged in a rare original jurisdiction case pursuant to appellate Rule 21 and held that a district court trial judge erred in its findings. The article originated as a Spencer Fane blog post.
He writes, “Colorado Supreme Court Justice Richard Gabriel, writing for a unanimous court, recently dispelled several misconceptions about the attorney-client communication privilege and the protections afforded by the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure concerning experts.”
At the firm, John leverages his in-depth commercial trial and litigation knowledge to represent clients in a variety of complex commercial cases, including breach of contract actions, real estate and land development, special district litigation, construction disputes between contractors and subcontractors, securities litigation, public land and natural resources law, mining, oil and gas, wildlife, toxic tort, Superfund, and air, water, and waste environmental cases.
