This CLE will discuss the policy behind both attorney client and work product privilege, what is included and excluded, the considerations for when to implement the privilege and when it is not appropriate, both in civil litigation and in matters involving the Department of Justice. It will also cover best practices with respect to waiver of the attorney client privilege, work product privilege, how to identify non-privileged client confidences, and ethical considerations in making these determinations.

NOTICE.
Although we would like to hear from you, we cannot represent you until we know that
doing so will not create a conflict of interest. Also, we cannot treat unsolicited

about any matter that may involve you until you receive a written statement from
us that we represent you (an ‘engagement letter’).
By clicking the ‘ACCEPT’ button, you agree that we may review any information you transmit to us. You recognize that our review of your information, even if you submitted it in a good faith effort to retain us, and, further, even if you consider it confidential, does not preclude us from representing another client directly adverse to you, even in a matter where that information could and will be used against you. Please click the ‘ACCEPT’ button if you understand and accept the foregoing statement and wish to proceed.
