OPINION

LAMB, Vice Chancellor.

The plaintiff, Hexion Specialty Chemicals, Inc., has filed two motions to compel discovery primarily covering documents prepared by or relating to the activities of defendant Huntsman Corp.'s financial advisor. The parties' briefs and oral arguments focused on the availability of Court of Chancery Rule 26(b)(4)(B)1 or the work product doctrine to shield these documents from production.
