Description: Faced with mounting judicial and congressional pressure governing corporate prosecution, on December 12, 2006, Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty issued new guidelines for U.S. Attorneys to follow when considering whether to indict a company for suspected criminal activity. The McNulty Memo is a departure from the DOJ's 2003 Thompson Memo, which spurred prosecutors to demand privilege waiver from companies threatened with indictment.
Is the McNulty Memo another case of too little, too late? Does the Memo adequately restore attorney-client privilege in the corporate context? Does the Memo thwart the ability of corporate leaders to seek and obtain legal guidance they need to effectively comply with the law?
In this two-hour webcast, West Legalworks has put together a panel of expert criminal, civil and regulatory enforcement lawyers to answer these compelling questions. Other areas to be covered include:
- When does it make sense for a company to voluntarily waive privilege?
- Alternatives to waiver (e.g., structuring a factual roadmap in which no privileged communications or work product is disclosed)
- Structuring an investigation to achieve maximum credibility with government investigators
- Methods of preserving the attorney-client and work product privileges when necessary to do so during the course of an investigation
- How not to invoke the wrath of government investigators when asserting the privilege
- Recent proposed revisions to the Federal Rules of Evidence
- Use of non-waiver agreements
- Indemnification and advancement of attorneys fees
- use of limited waiver agreements
- Recent case law on waiver of attorney-client privilege
Our stellar faculty includes Michael Koenig, a former DOJ attorney who investigated and prosecuted corporate fraud cases and who is now Counsel to Dewey Ballantine; Bill Leone, former U.S. Attorney for Colorado and now Partner at Faegre & Benson; and William M. Sullivan, Jr., former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia who is now Partner at Winston & Strawn and concentrates his practice on corporate internal investigations.
