Overview
Everyday Mistakes That Silently Kill Privilege Before You Even Know It's Gone
Attorney-client privilege is one of the most powerful protections in the law - and one of the easiest to lose. An unnecessary CC, an uploaded document in an AI tool, a careless text message, and simply blending legal and business advice can jeopardize confidentiality and create expensive discovery disputes. As technology changes the way lawyers and clients communicate, protecting privileged information has become more complicated than ever.
This practical program walks through the most common privilege blunders attorneys make and the steps you can take to avoid them. Whether you practice litigation, transactional law, or serve as in-house counsel, you'll leave with practical guidance, risk-reduction strategies, and best practices you can implement immediately to better protect your clients and your practice.
