Join us for a refresher on the basics of privilege and work product protection, including the application of Upjohn in the in-house setting. Following a review of the basic rules (using federal court case law and the ABA Model Rules), several everyday scenarios that are applicable to in-house teams will be reviewed, with a focus on practical guidance and a survey of recent key decisions in this area. We will enjoy cocktails and apps during and after, courtesy of Womble!
