Attorney–Client Privilege

Legal & Compliance Office

Communications with the Office of Legal & Compliance are often protected by attorney–client privilege when they:

  • Are between counsel and a diocesan entity (or its representatives)
  • Seek or provide legal advice
  • Are kept confidential

To protect the privilege:

  • Do not forward legal communications outside your organization
  • Share legal information only with those who need to know
  • Keep legal communications in confidential files
