A former Army officer, Kip now helps corporate and individual clients navigate government investigations. Kip counsels clients through investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); Internal Revenue Service (IRS); Department of Justice (DOJ), including allegations of antitrust and False Claims Act violations; and state attorneys general. As a member of the eDiscovery Solutions group, Kip works at the intersection of eDiscovery and Government Investigations.

A recent Sixth Circuit decision[1] provided clarity on the scope of the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrines, particularly as those rules relate to confidentiality and privacy of corporate records reviewed and analyzed as part of internal investigations. The decision is considered a victory for both the legal and the business worlds because it secured the longstanding and fundamental function of legal privileges that encourage complete and transparent sharing between attorneys and their corporate clients.
