The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
With increasing government oversight of corporations under the new administration and the complex business issues arising out of the pandemic, in-house counsel and corporate leadership will need confidential legal advice from lawyers and non-legal professionals. This webinar will address:
when the attorney-client privilege applies;
how to safeguard that privilege; and,
the best means of seeking, protecting and communicating attorney-client privileged material (within U.S. companies and to cross-border affiliates.)
Our panelists will discuss how to maintain attorney-client privilege in interactions with:
in-house counsel;
business advisors;
accountants;
public relations consultants; and,
non-legal experts.
