Abstract
This article analyzes the First Circuit’s decision and argues that the court’s remand is inconsistent with the intent of the work-product doctrine and renders the decision upholding work-product privilege a hollow victory for taxpayers. The article also provides some practical advice for companies in light of the First Circuit’s decision.
