2019 Attorney Client and Work Product Privileges
Created by the ALFA International Product Liability & Complex Torts Practice Group, this 2019 Compendium is designed to serve as a single resource regarding important attorney client and work product privileges. The Compendium provides a synopsis of significant case law or statutes involving:
- General circumstances under which the jurisdiction will treat a communication as attorney-client privileged, including identification of all required elements/circumstances.
- Whether the jurisdiction recognizes/preserves the attorney-privilege for communications among co-defendants in joint-defense or common-interest situations. If so, what are the requirements for establishing two or more co-defendants’ communications qualify?
- Key pitfalls/situations likely to result in the loss of the ability to claim the protections of the privilege – e.g., failure to assert, waiver, crime-fraud exception, assertion of advice of counsel, transmittal to additional non-qualifying recipients, etc.
- Recent trends or limitations imposed by the jurisdiction on the scope of the attorney-client privilege.
