The attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine stand as fundamental cornerstones in civil and criminal matters, safeguarding the confidentiality of communications between lawyers and their clients. These principles, however, present a labyrinth of legal, ethical, and practical challenges for both legal practitioners and their clients to navigate. Our panel discussion explores the multifaceted dimensions of the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine, focusing on their critical roles, limitations, and strategic implications. Panelists will also discuss how the privilege and doctrine apply in various scenarios, including in the joint defense context and when dealing with third parties--such as external auditors. Food and drinks will be provided, with a reception prior to the discussion.
