Description: The United States Supreme Court recently heard argument on a critical question for protecting in-house attorneys’ communications with their clients: when is an in-house lawyer’s “dual-purpose” communication – that is, one containing both legal and non-legal advice – protected by attorney-client privilege? This insightful class will explore the law governing attorney-client privilege and work product protections, and trends in privilege decisions relating to in-house counsel roles. Our knowledgeable and engaging faculty will draw on court opinions to guide a case-study based discussion of the rules governing in-house privilege claims and will offer best practices to protect the attorney-client privilege.
While this class is aimed at those who work in-house or who represent organizations with in-house attorneys, others may find the class of interest.
