Amid the expanding role of in-house counsel within organizations, the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) has filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court to protect attorney-client privilege in dual-purpose communications.
It’s the first time in 40 years the high court has taken up the issue of attorney-client privilege. Joining the ACC in filing the brief, in re Grand Jury, was the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Securities Industry & Financial Markets Association.
