Description: In-house attorneys often walk a fine line between offering legal advice and taking part in business strategy. When communications blend both functions, the critical question arises: Does attorney-client privilege still apply? This thought-provoking class delves into the complex and evolving landscape of privilege and work product protection, with a sharp focus on the unique role of in-house counsel.
Through a case study driven approach, our experienced faculty examines recent court decisions that are reshaping how privilege is defined and applied – especially in corporate settings. Attendees will gain the following knowledge and more:
- A clear understanding of when privilege attaches to dual-purpose communications
- Practical strategies for protecting privileged communications in everyday corporate practice
- Insights into recent rulings impacting privilege claims
- Best practices for maintaining confidentiality and documenting the legal purpose of communications
Whether you’re serving as in-house counsel or advising corporate clients, this program equips you with the tools you need to navigate privilege risks, uphold ethical standards, and stay ahead of shifting legal expectations.
