David Boies

[[DavidBoies|David Boies]] appears in Tyler Shultz, Theranos Whistleblower (Part 2) as the legal-threat figure associated with Theranos’s pressure campaign against [[TylerShultz|Tyler Shultz]]. Tyler says that after he was told the company wanted a simple one-page NDA, lawyers at [[GeorgeShultz|George Shultz]]’s house presented a temporary restraining order, a strongly worded Boies letter, and a court notice.

The page’s role is not to reconstruct the full legal history of Boies or Theranos. It records how this source uses his name: as part of the power asymmetry that made Tyler realize he needed independent counsel. When Tyler mentioned Boies to George’s estate attorney, the attorney immediately treated the situation as serious and told Tyler to come to his office rather than return to the lawyers.
