US SUPREME COURT TO TAKE UP THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE CASE IN 4 DECADES

On 4 October, a Client Alert from Wilmer Hale reported that, for the first time since 1981 opinion the Supreme Court will examine the scope of the attorney-client privilege for communications between a company and its lawyers.  It says that at issue is the application of the “primary purpose” standard for determining whether communications are covered by the attorney-client privilege.  Courts use this test to determine whether attorney-client privilege applies to communications made both to secure legal advice and for some other, business-related purpose.
