Partners Jeremy Opolsky and Sarah Whitmore and associate Adrienne Oake have authored an article for The Lawyer’s Daily.
The article titled “Avoiding pitfalls: Tips for in-house counsel to maintain privilege” provides practical tips to help preserve protection over privileged information. An excerpt of the piece is as follows:
While many lawyers are familiar with the concept of privilege, a solid understanding of the fundamentals is vital to in-house counsel who can protect privileged documents or information from disclosure. Privilege belongs to the client, but it can be lost by a lawyer who is not careful about how—and to whom—privileged information is communicated. When it comes to privilege, it pays to be safe instead of sorry.
A version of this piece was published as a part of the Litigation Trends 2022 report.
