One of the major challenges facing the legal profession today is
how to adapt and apply the concept of attorney-client privilege (or
professional secrecy) in an increasingly globalised world. Rules on
attorney-client privilege differ significantly from country to
country. This book explores such differences within 32
jurisdictions in North, Central and South America and the
Caribbean. Together with its complementary volume Professional
Secrecy of Lawyers in Europe (Cambridge, 2013), this book explores
the creation of a common definition for attorney-client privilege
which can be accepted by a wide variety of countries and
international institutions. Practice and interpretation within each
jurisdiction is mapped and explored, including reference to local
laws, ethical rules and case law. This book is a useful resource
for those working on transactions or litigations which involve
several countries.
