It was impossible to get a conversation going, because everybody was talking too much. This sentiment seems strangely appropriate in the context of communications among policyholder, defense counsel and insurer. Such communication is absolutely essential in order for the policyholder to be provided with an effective defense and for the insurer to be in a position to realistically evaluate possible settlement opportunities. The pivotal issue in this area is whether an insurer is entitled to receive attorney-client privileged communications between a policyholder and defense counsel.

As we all know, employees frequently send personal e-mail from employer e-mail accounts and other accounts accessed through their employer's Internet. This practice continues despite the prevalence of company policies that restrict computer use to business purposes. E-mail has also become the medium of choice for attorney-client communication. Because of its low cost, speed and efficiency, important facts and documents can be transmitted for free and in an instant.
