What categories of documents are included in the “file” has never been defined. With technology creating a record of nearly everything a lawyer does on behalf of a client, a liberal interpretation of the rule would mandate expansive and intrusive disclosures. This can be particularly problematic if the client is an entity that experiences a change in control — perhaps even to a former adversary. This article discusses the use of attorney-client fee agreements to define and limit what documents will be included in the client’s “file” to resolve the ambiguity and minimize exposure to lawyers.
