Re: Intersection of Business/Tech

The registrar and any reseller for the registrar should be
identified and contacted immediately.

Many domain name registrars do allow for updates to
administrative contact information by faxing a signed letter
to the domain registrar (possibly in conjunction with the
domain reseller) on company letterhead requesting the change.
The registrar may also require copies of ID and/or
registration/incorporation documents. I believe that the
originally-listed contact is not notified in that case. This
is most often used when the email address used for the domain
becomes unavailable or because the contact employee is no
longer with the owner company. I do not, however, know how
registrars feel about doing so in the context of potential or
pending litigation, so that may be an issue you may or may not
want wish to bring up with the registrar. 

Alternatively, if your clients have the login creditials for
the web-based administration interface for the domain, they
should be able to change the operative email address. Again, I
believe that the original contact is not notified in that case.
