Higier Allen & Lautin, P.C. is proud to share that Shareholder Jason T. Rodriguez has been featured in the April 2026 issue of Headnotes, the official publication of the Dallas Bar Association.
Jason’s article, “The Attorney-Client Privilege in Bankruptcy,” explores the often-overlooked complexities surrounding privilege rights when individuals and organizations enter bankruptcy proceedings. The piece highlights how control of the attorney-client privilege can shift depending on the chapter filed, the appointment of trustees, and changes in corporate control—creating important considerations for both legal counsel and clients.
The article provides practical insight into:
- How attorney-client privilege is treated under Chapters 7 and 11
- When and how privilege may transfer to trustees or new ownership
- Risks and considerations for corporate counsel representing multiple stakeholders
- Potential pitfalls for practitioners navigating pre- and post-bankruptcy transitions
Jason’s contribution reflects Higier Allen & Lautin’s deep experience advising clients through complex financial and legal matters, particularly in banking, restructuring, and corporate transactions.
We congratulate Jason on this recognition and his continued thought leadership within the legal community.
