Rogers Weighs in on Common Interest Privilege in Deals and Disputes

Partner Jacqueline Rogers will be a panelist at a National Association of Women Lawyers program. The panel, “Common Themes on the Common Interest Privilege in Deals and Disputes,” is being produced by NAWL’s Women in Corporate Transactions and Women in Litigation affinity groups. Rogers and the other panelists will address the scope and applicability of the common interest doctrine to communications among parties aligned in corporate transactions and litigation matters. The speakers will also discuss steps counsel can take to help protect such communications from later disclosure under the common interest doctrine.

An active NAWL member, Rogers represents companies and their management and boards in high-stakes mergers and acquisitions litigation, corporate and stockholder disputes, and complex commercial litigation in the Delaware Court of Chancery. She also has substantial experience litigating and providing advice concerning various statutory proceedings under the Delaware General Corporation Law, such as indemnification and advancement suits, stockholder appraisal actions, dissolution proceedings, litigation involving contested director elections, and books and records demands.
