Google AIO
SUMMARY
Attorney-client privilege can apply to internal investigations but requires careful planning. The investigation must be conducted for legal advice purposes with confidential communications. In-house counsel can lead investigations, but communications must be for legal advice, not business advice. Key considerations include clear engagement letters, confidentiality agreements, the Upjohn test for employee communications, and avoiding the crime-fraud exception.
