Corporate Internal Investigations

This definitive treatment covers attorney-client privilege, work product privilege, joint defense privilege, trade secrets, confidential submissions to federal and state authorities, financial privacy, and personnel files.

It presents answers to complex issues such as: the unique position of corporations in claiming privilege; application of the work product privilege to internal communications; the causes and scope of a waiver of the work product privilege: drawing the line between inside counsel's business and legal functions for purposes of attorney-client privilege; determining when information supplied to a government agency is to remain confidential; the dangers of intra-corporate discussions of confidential matters; inadvertent disclosures; keeping results of a corporate internal investigation immune from discovery; and more.

This book is updated as needed, generally two times each year.
