The attorney-client privilege is one of the oldest, most sacrosanct privileges in our legal system. Attorneys are entitled to the privilege when they consult with their in-house law firm counsel, just like anyone else who consults with his lawyer.
With the awareness of the importance and concomitant growth of risk management in the legal sector, law firms of all sizes now rely upon designated in-house counsel for timely, knowledgeable advice on malpractice, loss prevention, conflict and ethical issues. Attorneys communicating with in-house counsel on such sensitive issues expect to do so in confidence; the assumption of confidentiality promotes the dialogue.
