Description
The boundaries of legal privilege are being tested as never before. Civil litigators, criminal defence counsel, and investigators in white-collar matters all grapple with the question of what communications and materials are protected, and of when disclosure obligations override those protections. In this session, the speakers will explore strategic considerations for lawyers advising clients whose disputes straddle the regulatory, criminal and civil arenas, including strategies for preserving privilege in high stakes matters.
