Attorney Client Privilege Extends to P.R. Firms
For those of you who represent high-rollers, or who want to, here's a new and favorable decision from a New York Judge :
Conversations between a public relations firm and lawyers for the target of a grand jury investigation are protected by the attorney-client privilege, as long as they relate to the handling of the client's legal problems, a federal judge in New York ruled in the case of an unnamed company's high-profile legal troubles. The privilege can also extend to talks between the target and the PR firm that are "for the purpose of obtaining legal services."
