Baker & McKenzie has lost a bid to obtain the mental health records of an attorney who sued the law firm for allegedly firing him in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In a strongly worded opinion, a federal magistrate on Monday ruled that former associate David Kronenberg had not waived privilege regarding the records. "Baker is not entitled to rummage around in Mr. Kronenberg's privileged and confidential mental health records on a scavenger hunt for nuggets of evidence," the judge wrote.
