Privilege [2025

In the wake of the Post Office Inquiry, reforms have been proposed to the nature of legal professional privilege and the manner in which it should be dealt with by the courts. The SRA has also recently issued guidance to in house solicitors on legal professional privilege and the specific issues that they might face when dealing with it.

This webinar will consider the core principles of legal professional privilege and other forms of privilege for all lawyers. It will look at how these principles operate in practice and will review some of the recent case law dealing with the extent of privilege and the possible exceptions to it.
