Protecting attorney-client privilege for corporate attorneys: The basics are not always basic
1 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. CT
Privilege is a foundational component of the legal system. While attorney-client privilege can protect many internal documents and communications, recent court decisions highlight the need to explicitly invoke this protection. In-house counsel often provide advice that includes legal and business elements that may impact whether privilege will apply to certain communications.
This panel will cover:
- Special role of in-house counsel
- Views on privilege around the world
- The boundaries of attorney-client privilege, how privilege is waived and best practices to preserve privilege
