Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to evaluate in‐house counsel's dual role in the context of a wrongful discharge claim against his corporate employer and its effect on privileged corporate communications. Design/methodology/approach - The paper takes the form of legal research and analysis. Findings - A multipart factors test is proposed focusing on three areas: first, rationale for discharge; second, in‐house counsel's claim; and third, risks to privileged corporate information. Originality/value - The paper creates new means to evaluate corporate privilege and in‐house counsel access.
