In November 2024, the Solicitors Regulation Authority published crucial guidance on managing regulatory risks and issues associated with internal investigations. This guidance is essential for SRA-regulated firms and solicitors aiming to stay compliant and effective. One key consideration is the careful management of information sharing with third parties and witnesses, ensuring the protection of individuals’ anonymity to maintain confidentiality and uphold legal professional privilege (LPP). But what does this look like in practice?
Join our expert, Will Hayes, as he delves into the application of legal advice privilege and litigation privilege in internal investigations. This classroom covers how witness interviews are treated under LPP, the role of LPP in fact-finding investigations, and practical tips for maintaining privilege.
Internal investigations are prevalent across multiple legal fields, so whether you are responsible for carrying out the investigation, assisting with it or just wanting to know more, equip yourself with the knowledge to handle LPP effectively during an investigation and ensure compliance.
