[SOLVED] Confidential Memo
Having graduated from Berkeley College and obtained your law degree and bar admission, you have been hired to represent a corporation in a multi-billion dollar deal. During negotiations, counsel for the opposing party (X Company), prepares a confidential memo to her client describing X Company’s strategy. Opposing counsel attaches the memo to an email and inadvertently clicks “reply to all” thus sending the document to you and the client (since you had been carbon copied on a previous email.) Because the subject heading of the email gives you no caution that the email is in anyway privileged or confidential, you read it only to realize that the communication was in all likelihood intended to be confidential. What do you do? (Please refer to relevant Mode Rules of Professional Conduct where necessary.)
