ACC Northeast: Attorney-Client Privilege for In-House Counsel

Presented in Partnership with ACC Northeast

Maintaining the attorney-client privilege is one of the most critical yet complex challenges for in-house counsel, who often wear "two hats" - acting as both a legal advisor and a business strategist.

This program provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal standards governing the privilege in the corporate setting, with a focus on recent judicial trends and practical pitfalls. Our panelists will explore the "primary purpose" test, the risks of inadvertent waiver through multi-purpose communications, and the unique challenges posed by internal investigations and global operations.

Key Takeaways

• Attorney-Client Privilege in the Age of AI: Learning strategies for effective AI use that protects information subject to the attorney-client privilege.
• Third-Party Practice: Managing communications with accountants, consultants, and business partners without waiving attorney-client privilege.
• Risk of Waiver: Managing multi-purpose communications, maintaining confidentiality during internal investigations, preventing inadvertent waiver, and maintaining attorney-client privilege through ransomware attacks.
