Although privilege is at the core of our professional obligations as lawyers, it is a concept that is sometimes more readily asserted than understood. This creates two equal but opposite risks for lawyers: failing to safeguard confidential client information or, alternatively, acting on the (incorrect) assumption that communications are protected. 

This webinar will cover the principles behind privilege, the most common forms of privilege, developments in the law, and practical tips for lawyers.
