Why it Matters?
Panel requirements for forensic and legal vendors constrain the engagement structure that privilege protection depends on, since a carrier-designated forensic firm engaged directly rather than through counsel weakens the work product position. Negotiating carrier consent to counsel-directed engagement before an incident occurs is what reconciles the two. Notification timing requirements also run short and are frequently missed during incident response.
