Three advocacy groups are urging the State Bar of California to investigate Kent Walker for allegedly coaching Google on illegal destruction of records relevant to federal trials.
The groups argue that a memo from Walker in 2008 initiated a policy change that allowed Google to limit the retention of employee communications, thereby promoting secrecy.
In response to these allegations, Google has dismissed the Walker Memo as irrelevant, stating that it encouraged document preservation for employees under litigation holds.
Despite Google's defense, employees interpreted Walker's memo as guidance to eliminate discoverable information, raising concerns about the company's compliance with legal obligations.
