  Subject:    Re: Tekiner v. Bremen House et al. - Accountant/Broker Privilege

  Thank you Sean. We will review your position on the communications. If we decide to raise these issues with the Court, however, it will be by a
  separate Rule 14 letter and not through amendment of our existing letter.

    Shomik,



    We believe your emails mischaracterize Defendants’ position.          To be clear, Defendants have logged all privileged
    communications.     The Companies’ accountants and/or brokers have been included on otherwise privileged communications
    because of their positions and/or roles in Company transactions.         Their presence on those communications does not waive the
    privilege. In the limited circumstances where Defendants communicated with accountants and/or brokers concerning legal advice
    provided by counsel, Defendants have properly logged those communications and explained why they are privileged.                    Any
    responsive communications that were not privileged have been produced.



    As such, Defendants do not agree to produce withheld communications with the third parties named below.                   We also disagree
    that a “categorical ruling” is warranted in this case.    However, if your intent is to raise this issue with the Court, Defendants would
    agree to allow Plaintiff to amend her pending Rule 14 letter concerning privilege log issues to add this issue as well.           Given the
    number and breadth of Rule 14 submissions before the Court, we believe it would be more efficient to have all of Plaintiff’s
    concerns with Defendants’ privilege log raised together.



    Best,

    Sean

    [External Email – Use Caution]



    Sean,



    Following up on this. This is not intended to be a "gotcha" question. During our call, you stated Defendants
    were planning on asserting that communications involving the parties below were protected attorney-client
    communications. If that is still your position, please let us know so we can promptly raise this issue with
    the Court and seek a categorical ruling on the applicability of attorney-client privilege to communications
    involving third-party brokers and accountants.



    Thanks,



    Shomik

     Sean,

     During our previous meet & confer, we discussed Defendants’ withholding of a number of communications
     as privileged within which (a) communications involving counsel for Defendants included third-parties,
     thus waiving any attorney-client privilege; and (b) where Defendants communicated with third-parties
     with no counsel present. During our discussion, you stated that Defendants were taking the position that
     communications with third-party real estate brokers and accountants (including the parties below) were
     privileged, regardless of whether counsel was included in the communication.

     Would you please confirm for us that this remains Defendants' position? If not, Plaintiff requests that
     communications in which the following third-parties are present be immediately produced:

     Marcus Millichap
     Corcoran
     Warburg Realty
     Paul Schwartzman
     Steve Levine
     Beck/Baumann

     Thank you,
