David Cutter will be speaking on the “How to Waive Attorney-Client Privilege Without Even Trying” panel on March 26 th at 10:00 a.m. In the business world, it is often assumed that if a lawyer is involved in a matter, a privilege from disclosure will automatically apply. In the insurance context, however, the general perception that privileges attach immediately upon retention of a lawyer could not be more wrong. In this session, we will discuss how courts determine if a privilege applies to claim handling materials. Presenters will consider the impact of the nature of the communication, the identity of the persons involved in the communication, and the distribution of the information on the privilege determination.
