Attorney-Corporate Client Privilege, 3d, Spring 2016 ed. (Gergacz) Paperback Thomson Reuters

Examining how the attorney-corporate client privilege differs from attorney-client privilege, Attorney-Corporate Client Privilege provides case-proven tools that structure attorney-corporate client communications so they remain protected in the event of litigation against your corporate client.

• Includes chapters on the crime-fraud exception, waiver of privilege, and the "good cause” exception
• Explains who has, controls, and may assert the privilege within and outside the corporation
• Helps you identify privileged communications in discovery
• Discusses work product doctrine and the corporate client
• Recommends ways to discover work product materials
• Explains how to distinguish opinion from ordinary work product
