Evolution and the Discoverability of In-House Counsel Communications
In some countries, in-house counsel communications are privileged. In others, they are not. The question that comes up is whether in-house counsel communications should be treated as privileged in international arbitration. Darwin’s theory of natural selection may suggest the answer.
Join Jennifer Kirby as she discusses the evolution and the privilege rules regarding in-house counsel communications.
