WHOSE PRIVILEGE IS IT ANYWAY? THORNY ISSUES IN THE ERA OF WHISTLEBLOWERS
Le Dolan -- Nixon Peabody (Washington, DC) presents at the The Network of Trial Law Firms' Litigation Management CLE SuperCourse: Whistleblowers create many challenges for companies. One of them is battle over who controls the attorney client privilege. Recent cases have held that Senior Executives who reported concerns or improprieties to the legal department cannot use that fact in their defense without a waiver of privilege from the corporation. This dynamic creates material issues for in-house counsel to navigate. This session will discuss the issue as well as practical considerations for dealing with them.
