OBA PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET)

Although you are a lawyer conducting the investigation, this does not mean that your investigation is automatically protected by privilege. Learn how to avoid common pitfalls around privilege in the investigation context and effectively manage client expectations as we explore:   

• Scope of solicitor-client and litigation privilege in the context of investigations; 
• Where a retainer agreement may create a solicitor-client relationship, including when to refer employees to independent counsel;   
• Critical considerations where parallel regulatory proceedings exist; and 
• How to ensure any privilege which may exist is not inadvertently waived.

Round out your core competencies and essential skills with this final session in the OBA’s Conducting an Investigation: Critical Skills Series, and set yourself up for success in conducting investigations.
