Rulings on attorney-client privilege and the work product doctrine occur daily in the federal and state courts. New law is continually being made on the scope of these protections for companies and their counsel in areas like internal investigations, the legal vs. business advice distinction, the crime-fraud and fiduciary exceptions, subject-matter and at issue waiver, the common interest and joint client exceptions, global privilege issues and intra-law firm privilege. In a Jeopardy! format, this interactive presentation will examine the latest developments in privilege law as well as the professional ethics rules governing confidentiality (i.e., ABA Model Rules 1.6 and 1.13) — including cases in which ACC has weighed in as amicus — and recommend best practices to preserve the attorney-client privilege and the confidentiality of work product.
