We have published a new client guide to legal professional privilege under English law, comprising:

  • A decision tree: intended as a quick reference to help determine which documents can legitimately be withheld on grounds of privilege; and
  • Practical tips for maintaining privilege: aimed at minimising the risks of unhelpful, non-privileged material being produced.

The guide is available both as an interactive PDF, with links to more detailed information and articles, and as a hard copy guide for clients. Click here (or on "privilege guide" on the top menu) to access the "Handy client guide to privilege" home page, or contact Christina Southgate if you would like a hard copy.
