Legal Privilege in Investigations (Part 1) - how does it differ across jurisdictions?

Please join us for a lively panel discussion assessing the differences in the rules of legal privilege between jurisdictions around the world in the context of an investigation. During the discussion our international group of panellists, representing the UK, the EU, Middle East, the PRC and U.S., will dissect:

  • why exactly legal privilege is so important,
  • the different types of privilege,
  • the public enforcement perspective,
  • the key differences between civil and common law countries, and
  • what legal professional privilege means to you in practice

Moderator: Evelyn Tjon-En-Fa (Partner, EU)

Panellists: Sophie Eyre (Partner, UK), Pauline Kuipers (Partner, EU), Lucas Pitts (Partner, Middle East), Reid Whitten (Partner, Sheppard Mullin, U.S.), Sven-Michael Werner (Partner, PRC)

We’ll provide legal detail in addition to a high-level business summary overview.
