Explainer: Protecting Legal Professional Privilege
This Explainer sets out some high-level principles about legal professional privilege (privilege)
and waiver of privilege.
If you have had confidential communications with a lawyer about getting legal advice, or about actual or anticipated litigation, you may hold privilege over those communications. Sharing those communications (or their substance) with third parties might waive that privilege. It is important to consider the risks of waiving privilege before sharing any legal advice or other confidential communications received from a lawyer.
