Protection of the attorney-client privilege is critical to the attorney-client relationship. With the new e-discovery rules and the prevalence of electronic communication, preserving client confidentiality is more challenging than ever.
Email is the most common, but not the only, method of electronic communication. There are many alternative methods that cannot be overlooked when protection of the attorney-client privilege is at stake.
It is critical that both clients and counsel take proactive steps to protect all attorney-client communications – whatever the medium.
Listen and participate from your telephone as our authoritative panel examines the attorney-client privilege in the context of electronic communications, waiver of the privilege, and best practices that can be implemented to preserve the privilege.
Our panel includes:
Jacqueline Klosek, Senior Counsel, Goodwin Procter, New York. She advises clients on issues related to privacy and data security. She negotiates technology agreements and advises on different aspects of the law related to intellectual property and technology. She is a Certified Information Privacy Professional and served as a Consultant to Directorate Generals of the EC in connection with a study on International Private Law and Electronic Commerce.
David K. Isom, Shareholder, Greenberg Traurig, Denver. He co-chairs the firm's national E-Discovery & E-Retention Practice Group and consults on electronic discovery, electronic document retention and data privacy. He has extensive litigation experience. He is a member of the Sedona Conference.
Todd L. Nunn, Partner, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis, Seattle. He practices litigation on behalf of corporate and governmental clients. He advises clients on e-discovery issues, document preservation and discovery response planning. He is member of the e-Discovery Analysis and Technology Group, which uses business processes and advanced technology to provide efficient and cost-effective electronic discovery and document review.
The panel will review these and other key questions:
- How does online communication change the reasonable expectation of privacy?
- How can attorneys protect clients’ privacy rights and attorney-client privilege while utilizing online communication?
- What ABA, state bar and court opinions offer guidance to attorneys regarding the attorney-client privilege and confidentiality in e-communications?
Following the speaker presentations, you’ll have an opportunity to get answers to your specific questions during the interactive Q&A.
