SUMMARY:Privileged and confidential: cross-border differences in the prot
 ection of confidential information
DESCRIPTION:Privileged and confidential: do these 'magic words' provide s
 ufficient protection? Lawyers use them all the time\, but they are not a
 lways used consistently or correctly. The protections available vary gre
 atly among legal systems. In some jurisdictions\, the failure to correct
 ly mark a document or designate a conversation is fatal to the claim of 
 privilege or confidentiality. In others\, dawn raids by criminal or regu
 latory authorities can result in privileged documents\, such as internal
  investigation reports\, finding their way into an adversary’s hands. Le
 gal counsel may refuse to produce evidence or provide testimony\, but if
  the client has waived privilege or confidentiality\, even implicitly or
  inadvertently\, the protection may be rendered meaningless. In arbitrat
 ion\, privilege is not always uniformly applied. This panel will explore
  the legal and practical differences worldwide to assist international l
 awyers in dealing with privileged and confidential information\, and in 
 better understanding the legal and practical boundaries of protection av
 ailable to them.
