From the release of legally privileged advice in the ‘Panama Papers’ leak, to the revelation that a barrister representing various criminal clients had in fact been a police informer for decades (and a subsequent Royal Commission), the issue of client legal privilege is under significant scrutiny.
Barristers Steven Whybrow and Wayne Sharwood will provide some context and insight into what has been going on and why it is important for every legal practitioner to both understand and claim professional privilege in a responsible way – to preserve both the privilege, and the reputation of the legal profession as a whole.
