Safeguarding the Attorney-Client Privilege in Discovery
The attorney-client privilege is one of the most important legal traditions in the United States. Hailed as one of the lynchpins of the adversary system, it has been called everything from sacred and sacrosanct to essential and compellingly important. And yet, safeguarding privileged information has become particularly challenging in the age of eDiscovery. This is due to the massive amounts of email and other electronic data now existing in most corporate electronic information systems. Given the sheer volume of potentially relevant information, it is often difficult to identify privileged communications and then withhold them from discovery. Despite these challenges, there are strategies and tools available to help counsel protect client privilege claims in discovery. Come listen to a panel of experts provide a variety of perspectives on the issues and spotlight best practices for safeguarding privilege claims.
Topics covered include:
- The strategic importance of privilege reviews in the context of discovery and litigation
- The impact that counsel’s relationship with litigation adversaries and the courts has on the development of the privilege review process
- Methods for simplifying privilege logging requirements
- Strategies for designing an effective review workflow
