Cleary Breakfast: Antitrust Proceedings and Legal Professional Privilege: Risks and Evolving Scenarios

Rome and Milan, Italy

Legal professional privilege is a concept that is often taken for granted but which, in practice, involves significant and frequently underestimated nuances, with potential substantial consequences in the context of antitrust investigations.

Cleary Gottlieb associates Riccardo Molè and Giulia Lodigiani discussed the scope of legal privilege in Italy and the rest of Europe, as well as recent and anticipated developments, examining their practical impact on situations where the confidentiality of client-attorney communications is at risk of being compromised, and the appropriate measures to prevent such an outcome.

The seminar was part of the Cleary Breakfast series.
