SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 21 – There was a "release of energy into an electric vault" on the 23rd floor of 570 Lexington Avenue on May 20, 2019. Then Tower 570 Company LP sued Affiliated FM Insurance Company and Travelers.
On January 21, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Jesse M. Furman held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
At issue were claims of privilege, following the hiring of litigation counsel.
The counter argument was that so-called litigation counsel could also be performing other legal work, so hire them should create a blanket privilege.
The case is Tower 570 Company LP v. Affiliated FM Insurance Company et al., 20-cv-799 (Furman)
