Practical tips on privilege

Welcome back for the seventh episode of this podcast series. We are joined by four partners from Mayer Brown's global Dispute Resolution practice: Chris Chapman and James Whitaker in London, Susanne Harris in Hong Kong, and Glen Kopp in New York, with London based Dispute Resolution senior associate Amanda Plowden asking the questions. The team discusses practical tips on privilege in the context of investigations, which includes discussion around the assertion of privilege from the outset of an investigation - and the involvement of regulators on this point; retaining privilege over work product created during an investigation; and precautions that clients should take before interviewing employees to protect privilege.
