Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP attorney,
Wendy Wen Yun Chang, will be a featured moderator at the 2012
LMRM Conference. The Conference will take place February 29 – March 2, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois, at The Westin Chicago River North. Ms. Chang will be moderating the topic, "Recent Developments Concerning the Attorney-Client Privilege and Work Product Protection for In-House and Law Firm General Counsel," from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 1, 2012.
As courts attempt to balance an attorney's ethical duties to a client with a law firm's need to obtain privileged in-house legal advice regarding ethical and legal responsibilities to a client, the law on these issues remains unsettled. The panelists will—from the perspective of law firms (both corporate and private)—analyze the recent decisions regarding the privilege protection accorded to those communications and discuss when and how the privilege can be preserved.
This panel is part of the Legal Malpractice/Risk Management Cross-Over series of topics of the LMRM Conference.
