Chamberlain, Hrdlicka, White, Williams & Aughtry senior counsel Kevin F. Sweeney, a former federal tax prosecutor, discussed the issue of preserving ­attorney-client privilege during internal investigations at an annual fraud ­conference organized by The Institute of Internal Auditors Central New Jersey chapter.

At the conference, Sweeney presented “Navigating the Minefield: Strategies for Establishing and Preserving Attorney-Client Privilege During Internal Investigations.”

It focused on the importance of attorney-client privilege for effective legal counsel, noting that proper legal assistance requires full disclosure, but that clients will divulge details only if confidences are protected.
