attorney-client privilege waiver

• Internal corporate investigations: the waiver of attorney-client privilege and work-product protection through voluntary disclosures to the government.

Twelfth Survey of White Collar Crime The courts should construe the waiver of attorney-client privilege and the work-product doctrine narrowly in the corporate investigation and disclosure context to balance the need for disclosure with protections that will actually promote disclosure. The majority approach construes waiver broadly in stating that information disclosed to a government agency is available to third-party litigants. Final internal investigation reports should be considered a waiver of privilege in such information, but nondisclosed opinion work-product should continue to be protected by privilege.
