Heavily relied upon yet often misunderstood, attorney-client privilege is an essential component of any attorney-client relationship.  The privilege is even more complicated in an in-house setting where in-house counsel often wear multiple hats, communicate with a variety of stakeholders, and must make quick decisions.

Please join us for this NextGen Starter Brief as we explore attorney-client privilege.  Preti Flaherty Partner, Ben Piper, will identify some of the key issues and pitfalls concerning the attorney-client privilege in an in-house setting.  Issues covered will include:

  • business versus legal advice;
  • with whom and under what circumstances privileged information may be shared without waiver;
  • privilege between parents, subsidiaries, and other affiliates; and,
  • key distinctions between the attorney-client privilege and the work-product doctrine.

This session will help you brush up on seminal authority and flag issues to help you think more critically about your attorney-client privilege practices.

Register below.  Dial-in credentials will be provided to registrants 24 hours prior to the webinar.

Join the ACC Northeast Women's Initiative and our sponsor, Bowditch & Dewey LLP, for an evening with Anthony Amore, an art theft expert, investigator, and security practitioner, to hear surprising information about major art heists that have happened in Boston, including the well-known Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art theft.

Anthony is currently the Director of Security and Chief Investigator at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, where he is charged with the ongoing efforts to recover 13 works of art stolen from the museum on March 18, 1990.

In 2011, he co-authored the Wall Street Journal true-crime bestseller Stealing Rembrandts: The Untold Stories of Notorious Art Heists.  His second book, The Art of the Con: The Most Notorious Fakes, Frauds and Forgeries in the Art World was published in 2015 and was a New York Times Crime Bestseller.  In November 2020, his third book, The Woman Who Stole Vermeer: The True Story of Rose Dugdale and the Russborough House Heist was published by Pegasus in the U.S., U.K., and Ireland and received praise from the New York Times, the New York Review of Books and the Washington Post.

There will be time for networking before and after the talk. Seats are limited so please register early by clicking below.
