'The planning process is complicated by legal issues, which can put the company in an awkward position. In 2000, Boeing was sued over a complicated legal issue involving gender pay differential (Business Week, 2004). There was clear evidence that pay differential existed; however, attorney client privilege protected the company from liability and most of the evidence was later thrown out, in the end Boeing settled out of court and saved the company from public humiliation. Having a legal team overseeing all important documents and decisions gave Boeing the opportunity to save them millions of dollars. In this situation, it was best for Boeing to settle because it would resonate better with consumers, its employees, and the public in general."
