What did the seminar cover?

The Glencore International AG v Commissioner of Taxation [2019] HCA 26 judgment confirmed that legal professional privilege is a shield, not a sword. A panel of Level Twenty Seven Chambers barristers and forensic expert Brendan Read (KordaMentha) will discuss the impacts of this and other decisions in the context of regulatory investigations (known and unknown), commercial disputes as well as civil and criminal penalty cases. The panel will:

  • Explain why Glencore will change how lawyers conduct matters
  • Review what can be done to seek to protect privilege and confidentiality

There were opportunities throughout the session for the audience to pose questions to the panel.

Who should attend?

All disputes resolution lawyers and in house counsel. Clients of firms are also welcome to attend.
