In Summer 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued a strongly worded decision in In Re: FirstEnergy Corporation (No. 24-3654)—confirming the core concept that internal investigations conducted by counsel and in anticipation of litigation are privileged and protected from disclosure. When securities plaintiffs in the case sweepingly sought all documents “related to the internal investigation,” the district court incorrectly ordered their production. After much legal wrangling, the Sixth Circuit rebuked the district court on August 7, 2025, and reaffirmed in a per curiam opinion filed October 3, 2025.
