Barry Weiner quoted in Law 360Barry Weiner appeared in the article entitled Work E-mails: The New Smoking Gun written by Christine Caufield: Barry Weiner, name partner of Ruberto, Israel & Weiner in Boston, was quoted in the following: "People within organizations are more often than not insufficiently sensitive to the fact that electronic communications leave a lasting record that can undoubtedly be retrieved and can be a really important piece of evidence for lawyers," said trial attorney Barry Weiner of Ruberto Israel & Weiner. "And because people are able to copy numerous people on their e-mails, the breadth of the seeds that they're planting can be really quite broad and more easily tracked and discoverable," he added. Labeling e-mails with the subject phrase "confidential and privileged" does not make them so, Weiner said. An e-mail to your company's in-house counsel could be privileged, but not if that e-mail is sent to others as well. And adding the in-house counsel to your list of e-mail recipients doesn't make the missive privileged, either. "It's important for people to have an understanding as to what communications by e-mail they can feel free to make, and who is going to be able to look at those e-mails at a later date," Weiner said. Disclaimer Schmisclaimer Disclaimers at the bottom of an e-mail that tell the recipient the contents may contain privileged information have weight only insofar as they alert people to the possibility the email is confidential. "Such a statement does not in and of itself make the communication confidential," Weiner said. "It may give someone a heads-up to keep it to themselves, but the fact is you have created a record by this e-mail, and if it isn't protected by privilege, it will undoubtedly be discoverable in a proceeding."The article addresses work e-mails, confidentiality and E-discovery.
