In another sign that the administration is easing up on its fight against corporate crimelinks, the US Justice Department is backing off from its hard-line that forces corporations to turn over confidential communications between their attorneys and company executives under scrutiny by prosecutors. It's a big win for business and lawyers who have argued such sanctions were coercive and unconstitutional.

More details in the Washington Post.

Still, there's every chance business will say the changes don't go far enough. Watch this space.
