To Tell The Truth; The Importance Of Full And Frank Disclosure To Preserving The Attorney-Client Privilege
Partner Patrick Fitzmaurice is published in DailyDAC for his byline, “To Tell The Truth; The Importance Of Full And Frank Disclosure To Preserving The Attorney-Client Privilege.” Fitzmaurice shares insights from Fragin v. First Funds Holdings LLC f/k/a First Funds LLC, writing, “The Fragin case has valuable lessons to share for both lawyers and clients the most important of which is the same for both – make sure that legal advice given and received is based on knowledge of all the relevant facts. With a full and frank conversation, and thoughtful legal advice, the issues addressed by the Fragin court could have been avoided entirely. And, the conversations between lawyer and client would have remained protected by the attorney-client privilege.”
