Protecting Privilege from New Lines of Attack (On Demand)

Protecting Privilege from New Lines of Attack (On Demand) Mark Vitek (not verified)

Many countries recognize the importance of protecting the confidentiality of communications between lawyers and clients. Nonetheless, governments often seek to invade these protected communications during the course of their investigations. This trend is particularly noticeable when it comes to communications between in-house lawyers and their clients, even in countries that recognize legal professional privilege for in-house counsel legal advice. Baker Botts partners Maureen Ohlhausen (former Acting-Chair, Federal Trade Commission) and Andrew George will discuss these developments and offer ideas on how in-house counsel can better protect their confidential client communications.

With the leadership of the two federal antitrust agencies, the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, now fully in place and the agency heads announcing major shifts in thinking as they implement significant changes in practice and policy, the antitrust enforcement landscape has become less transparent and therefore far less predictable. What does this mean for businesses trying to navigate the antitrust enforcement landscape? How do these changes impact small businesses in particular? How do businesses best avoid finding themselves in the agencies crosshairs? And, what's next—will the agencies continue their aggressive enforcement despite several recent setbacks in the courts? And, will the agencies' changes ultimately have any long-term impact on U.S. antitrust enforcement policy? Four former FTC and DOJ Antitrust Division agency heads, two from Republican administrations and two from Democratic administrations, offer their thoughts and predictions in this not-to-be-missed program.
