Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that Disciplinary Rule 7‑104(A)(1) applies only to current corporate employees who either bind the corporation or implement counsel’s advice, permitting ex parte interviews of non‑managerial current employees who are merely witnesses; the Court modified the Appellate Division order and affirmed the revised decision.
