When does it not work, generally speaking?
- jefftk 4y agoMy understanding is that adding a lawyer to a conversation isn't sufficient to shield it from discovery. Instead you actually need to (a) be asking a lawyer for legal advice, (b) not cc or otherwise share with anyone who does not need that advice, and (c) not include unrelated matters. When I've written things that actually needed to be privileged I would start a separate email, address it only to the lawyer and specific people who also needed to know the advice, and keep the thread carefully on topic. (Not a lawyer)

- vkou 4y agoWhen you're not asking for particular legal advice about a particular legal problem, CCing a lawyer doesn't result in your communication being protected by layer-client privilege.
