In-person: France is Entering a New Era for In-House Legal Privilege - ACC Europe x Squire Patton Boggs

Following the adoption of landmark legislation earlier this year, certain legal advice issued by in-house counsel now benefits from confidentiality protection. This long-awaited reform brings France closer to international standards, strengthens the position of French companies, and marks a significant shift in the country's legal landscape.

Join ACC Europe and Squire Patton Boggs for a practical review of France's new regime protecting the confidentiality of in-house legal advice, with a focus on key developments, limitations and real-world implications for businesses.

This session will cover:

· Navigating the new French framework: the scope of the protections available to in-house counsel, their limitations and the practical implications for internal and external communication.

· Cross-border challenges: key considerations for multinational groups, including information sharing across jurisdictions and strategies for preserving confidentiality internationally.

· Investigations and strategy: managing requests from law enforcement bodies and judicial authorities, dawn raids and disclosure obligations, while protecting sensitive and confidential legal information.
