2. Property which is arguably subject to the attorney-client privilege may be reviewed during a search conducted pursuant to a search warrant issued pursuant to NRS 179.11514 to determine whether the property is covered by the search warrant if:
(a) The property is reviewed by a team of officers and attorneys who are designated by the district attorney or the Attorney General and who are not part of the underlying criminal investigation or prosecution;
(b) The attorneys designated to the team described in paragraph (a) do not participate in the search itself; and
