On Thursday, December 10th, Dentons Canada hosted an interactive discussion on privilege issues impacting in-house counsel in the new dynamic. During this session we discussed how privilege is handled internally by clients and the challenges presented by the pandemic with an increased dependency on technology and a workforce primarily working remotely.

Topics covered included:

• Setting privilege parameters in the era of remote working
• Solicitor-client privilege – A view from both sides
• Confidentiality during the pandemic
