In a recent blog post, Michael Volkov discusses when and how attorney-client privilege factors into compliance programs and investigations. “Lawyers and compliance officers need to pay close attention to the attorney-client privilege, and make sure they take proper steps to protect and promote the use of privilege in appropriate circumstances,” Volkov writes. “When conducting serious internal investigations or reviewing significant compliance issues, a company’s ability to cloak such determinations with the privilege is critical to the review, the company’s decision, and the remediation of the issue, if warranted.”
