Boeing Claims Colorado Company Waived Privilege for Shared Documents

By Editorial Team

Boeing has informed a Washington federal judge that a Colorado company should not be allowed to retract hundreds of likely privileged documents shared during discovery in a case where the company accuses Boeing of utilizing stolen technology for a NASA moon program.

The dispute revolves around the Colorado company’s attempt to claw back the documents, which Boeing argues were shared voluntarily and should not be protected under attorney-client privilege.

The legal battle has attracted attention due to the high stakes involved, with both parties vigorously defending their positions in court.

Boeing’s legal team emphasized that the Colorado company waived any privilege rights by sharing the documents willingly during the discovery process. The company’s argument revolves around the assertion that the documents contain sensitive information that should not have been disclosed.

The case, which is being heard in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, has drawn in prominent law firms such as Astrella Law, Cochran Freund, Friedman Rubin, McGuireWoods, Meyers & Flowers, Perkins Coie, and Sharp Law LLP.

Key players involved in the case include The Boeing Co., the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and Judge John H. Chun.

Legal analysts are closely monitoring the developments in this case, as it could set a precedent for how attorney-client privilege is handled in similar disputes in the future.
