It examines the legal principles protecting confidential communications between lawyers and clients in relation to legal advice, litigation, and associated preparatory documents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking a comparative perspective, the authors explore both the fundamental role of LPP in safeguarding the lawyer-client relationship and the ongoing challenges courts face in balancing privilege with effective law enforcement and the administration of justice. Drawing on significant case law from each jurisdiction, the book provides practical guidance for judges, legal practitioners, and academics while addressing areas where the law remains uncertain and highlighting the growing influence of cross-jurisdictional developments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the earlier edition, Legal Professional Privilege for Corporations, this revised edition continues its strong emphasis on corporate privilege while also covering the application of LPP to all clients. It examines key issues such as shareholders' access to privileged corporate documents, waiver of privilege, handling of privileged material that has left a client's control, conflict of laws in privilege disputes, and the crime-fraud (or iniquity) exception. This edition also expands its comparative analysis by including Singapore and Hong Kong alongside the original jurisdictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents of Legal Professional Privilege in the Common Law World: A Guide to Six Major Jurisdictions, 2nd Edition | 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e1: Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e2: The Evolving Rationale For Legal Professional Privilege\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e3: The Corporate Client\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e4: The Client's Legal Advisers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e5: The Client's Purpose\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e6: Control Of Corporate Privilege\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e7: Waiver And Loss Of Corporate Privilege\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e8: The Crime-Fraud Exception And Procedural Aspects Of Privilege\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e9: Re-Examining The Scope Of Privilege\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout The Authors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProf. Andrew Higgins \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of Civil Justice Systems at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Mansfield College.
