This podcast is aimed at litigation lawyers wanting a clearer idea of the circumstances in which legal advice or litigation privilege can be, or will be found to be, waived. It is therefore suitable for all lawyers interested in this area, whether newly qualified or as a refresher for more experienced practitioners.
In this podcast we interview Emily McKechnie, a barrister at Wilberforce Chambers, on litigation and legal advice privilege. In particular, the focus of the discussion is when privilege is, or is deemed to be waived in different situations. As this may sometimes be inadvertent, practical advice is given on how to avoid privilege of a document being unintentionally waived.
