FAQ

Attorney-client privilege covers communications (oral, written, emails, Zoom conferences, WhatsApp, etc.) back and forth between a client and the lawyer. It may also cover lateral or downstream communications among clients and other service providers in furtherance of a lawyer's handling of the case.

Some of the most common exceptions to the privilege include: Death of a Client. ... Fiduciary Duty. ... Crime or Fraud Exception. ... Common Interest Exception.

Crime or Fraud Exception. If a client seeks advice from an attorney to assist with the furtherance of a crime or fraud or the post-commission concealment of the crime or fraud, then the communication is not privileged.

The attorney-client privilege does not apply to every communication with an attorney. For the privilege to exist, the communication must be to, from, or with an attorney, and intended to be confidential. In addition, the communication must be for the purpose of requesting or receiving legal advice.

Privilege May Not Extend to Attachments Rather, if the ?attachment contains facts and not communications, the Court must evaluate whether the disclosure of the facts would somehow reveal a request for, or the content of, legal advice.? (See Townhouse Rest.

In fact, simply adding an attorney to an email does not invoke the attorney-client privilege at all. Rather, the privilege extends only to communications with counsel for the purpose of obtaining legal advice.

You also must maintain the confidentiality of a communication. If you share the communication with a third party ? for example, by forwarding an email to someone outside of your business ? you can lose the protection of attorney-client privilege.
