Bowman and Brooke Partner Rich McPherson and Of Counsel Abigail Golden's article, “Sharing Protective Orders,” was featured in ACC South Carolina - Association of Corporate Counsel's newsletter. The article discusses the critical role of protective orders in litigation, ensuring a fair exchange of information while safeguarding corporate confidentiality. Protective orders serve a crucial role in litigation, balancing the need for disclosure with the necessity of protecting sensitive commercial information. A strong protective order creates a framework that allows an appropriate exchange of documents while safeguarding commercially sensitive, confidential or proprietary information. One issue that is too frequently overlooked in negotiating a protective order is whether the protective order allows for sharing of documents outside of the case at issue. When protective orders allow the sharing of such documents outside of a case, they risk undermining the very purpose of these protections.
