Session Description:
In this webinar, participants will learn about two key privileges that impact our work as impartial investigators: attorney-client privilege and the attorney work product doctrine. Both impact the confidentiality of the investigation you conduct, including who can see your work and when. However, the application of these privileges can also expose investigators to questions of bias and lack of impartiality. We'll discuss strategies for resolving these issues and becoming an expert on how privilege impacts your investigations.
