What Litigators Need to Know About Joint Defense Agreements
ExecSense, May 2011, Pages: 60
In What Litigators Need to Know About Joint Defense Agreements, ExecSense examines these commonly used contracts among defendants that extend the attorney-client privilege across the defense camp, so as to form an umbrella “joint defense privilege.” Take the 60 minutes to view this webinar (on your computer, mobile phone, iPad, Kindle or printed out) to understand the advantages and disadvantages to your clients of joining such an agreement, and how to form a joint defense agreement with fellow defendants if you determine it is in the best interests of your client.
Upon ordering, ExecSense will email you a link to download the webinar files for viewing on your computer, mobile phone, iPod, iPad, Kindle or printed out. The downloaded files will include the PowerPoint presentation, audio narration and jpeg images of the slides (for watching on your mobile media device). Take advantage of your next commute, flight, business trip, lunch, or free hour in your schedule to view this webinar.
The webinar is led by an expert in joint defense agreements, David Donoghue, Partner with Holland & Knight LLP, and focuses on:
- Everything you need to know in 60 minutes about joint defense agreements, which allow parties and their counsel to share confidential information with other parties and their counsel without fear that the disclosure will result in waiver of the attorney-client privilege
- Perspective on the advantages (e.g. ability to pool discovery and work product, cut costs, coordinate theories and arguments, jointly hire experts) and disadvantages (e.g. inability to obtain discovery from co-defendants, the possibility of co-defendants presenting inconsistent defenses) to your clients of joining a joint defense agreement
- Comprehensive overview of how and in what circumstances a joint defense agreement is typically established (e.g. parties must face actual or potential criminal or civil litigation, parties must objectively agree that they will join forces, etc.)
- The 10 questions most asked by litigators with respect to joint defense agreements, and how their clients will benefit from sharing information with their co-defendants
- Case studies of other litigators who have formed joint defense agreements with co-defendants, how their clients were helped or hurt by these agreements, and important lessons learned that you and your clients need to know about how
