any big enough law firm is going to require that it have access to the clients files and will run search terms, etc. no point in an attorney refusing to turn it over even if the client doesn't want to. and theres going to be some degree of discovery on discovery/preservation efforts made. on a smaller level im sure it happens all the time.

Ok hide it and then if the opposition somehow finds it you can play dumb and in that case ur furked anyway so game theory says ur best bet is to not voluntarily hand it over

lol at it ever costing you your law license. Worst case is maybe getting your complaint/answer struck but that would be after multiple orders.

This is why associates have a "bad docs" tag -- those are collected and sent to the partners so they can brainstorm reasons not to produce them, while the other 2 million pages of trash get produced.

The associates can later say they tagged it for further review and the partners can say "I thought this already got produced" if it ever surfaces through a third party or whatever.
