Judge Upholds Attorney-Client Privilege in McDonald’s Case, Restricting Access to Internal Investigation Records

In a recent legal development, a judge has ruled in favor of McDonald’s regarding an attorney-client privilege dispute involving the company’s former executives. The contention centered on the plaintiffs’ attempts to access records from an investigation conducted by McDonald’s outside counsel. Plaintiffs’ attorney, Jonathan I. Loevy, representing Loevy & Loevy based in Chicago, expressed disappointment over the judge’s decision. Loevy commented, “McDonald’s has successfully asserted a privilege ‘shield’ to prevent disclosure of actions we believe were unlawful, but the case continues, and we look forward to trial.” For more details, visit the original article.
