The solicitor-client privilege and client confidentiality are “fundamental rights” in the legal landscape and have been given “quasi-constitutional” status. How do you determine whether a communication is privileged and how long it stays that way? What factors result in the loss of privilege? What must you do? Attend this engaging program, especially for in-house counsel, to clarify the law, best practices and your role and responsibilities and make sense of the grey areas.
