The Legal Privilege (Un)Covered

Description

Adriana de Buerba and Mario Maldonado, White Collar Crime and Investigations partner and lawyer at Pérez-Llorca, have contributed to the recently published book ‘The Legal Privilege (Un)Covered’.

The publication, powered by Voiadvocaten.nl, highlights the vital importance of contacting a lawyer in complete confidentiality while analysing legal privilege in various countries. For their chapter, ‘Legal Privilege in Spain’, Adriana and Mario explain how in our legal system, legal privilege is a fundamental principle that protects the privacy of the information exchanged and ensures that a client receives effective representation, although there are some specific situations in which authorities may consider it appropriate to intercept these communications. Starting from this premise, the paper examines the limits and legal protections related to legal privilege, as well as its importance in the Spanish legal system.
