Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC ChicagoBy now, it is axiomatic that the attorney-client privilege applies to entities. Corporations, like individuals, enjoy the protection of the attorney-client privilege without distinction to lawyers who are in-house or outside counsel for an organization. Although the availability of privilege is undisputed, the administration of the attorney-client privilege in the case of corporations presents a patchwork of problems. Among those are questions relating to who speaks for the corporation, the nature of protected communications, and who can waive the privilege on the corporation’s behalf. In this presentation, we will unravel the issues on preserving corporate privilege and show you how to keep the confidentiality of your business communications from coming undone.
