Hear a practical discussion regarding the scope of protection afforded by the attorney-client privilege, including emerging trends relating to courts' interpretation of the confidentiality prong of the privilege. After discussing the two elements of attorney-client privilege-legal advice and confidentiality-that most commonly create difficulties when asserting the privilege, the faculty focus on how recent legal developments impact companies' sharing of privileged materials, including with outside directors. This program is designed to help in-house counsel, directors, and any attorneys advising on best practices to avoid inadvertently waiving privilege.
