Live Webcast: The Attorney Client Privilege and the Work Product Doctrine: Basic Principles and 2021

January 15, 2021


In this powerful program, Tom Spahn, the author of A Practitioner's Guide to the Attorney Client Privilege and the Work Product Doctrine, will explore perhaps the most important legal doctrine all lawyers should understand -- the attorney client privilege.  This interactive and engaging seminar will also address the separate but related work product doctrine protection.  With both protections, the program will include up-to-date South Carolina case law.  
 
If you are a litigator, represent businesses or government entities, estates, or serve as a fiduciary, this is special program offers you the opportunity to hear from perhaps the national authority on these challenging doctrines.  
 
This seminar is an intermediate level program.
 
This program qualifies for 3.0 MCLE credit hours, including to up to 3.0 LEPR credit hours.
