Editor’s note: This article is the second in a series.

This series of articles explores the application of the attorney-client privilege within the client organization, using the context of an internal investigation as a point of reference. In this installment, I address who is not (and should not become) the client, the necessity that the lawyer involved in the communication be acting as such and the expectation of confidentiality required for the privilege to apply.
