McKinsey We have been advised that neither the NYPD nor FDNY is in possession of (i) any records/transcripts/notes of the interviews and surveys McKinsey conducted on employees of the FDNY or NYPD or (ii) any internal McKinsey notes or memorandums with respect to these studies. I have spoken with a former McKinsey consultant who has advised me that while McKinsey doesn't have the same type of centralized record system as a law firm, the individual McKinsey employees who worked on these studies should still have relatively robust files, particularly since the studies were completed only 16 months ago. Question: what would be the best way to procure these documents, and whom would we subpoena if it comes to that? S.M.W.C.
