Investigations 201: Protecting the Attorney Client Privilege in Cross-Border Investigations

Webinar | 09.26.17, 7:00 AM EDT - 8:00 AM EDT

As lawyers, we want to protect our client's investigation and strategy as confidential. With increasing government pressure to probe into the details of an investigation, how is that accomplished? And how does counsel balance the competing claims, inconsistent laws, and practices of different jurisdictions while maintaining confidentiality? Crowell & Moring’s Investigations practice lawyers will discuss preserving privilege during various stages of cross-border investigations. Our presenters will respond to real-time questions taken from our listeners.


Topics of discussion will include:

  • The delegation of tasks and sharing of information between in-house and outside counsel and the use of non-lawyer investigators 
  • Best practices for conducting employee interviews, including the efficacy of Upjohn warnings in global investigations 
  • Determining the use and distribution of the investigation report

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
