Somdutta Bhattacharyya shares his views with Mint
Our Partner, Somdutta Bhattacharyya, shared his insights with LiveMint on the Supreme Court’s recent ruling clarifying that in-house counsels are not entitled to client-attorney privilege under the Indian Evidence Act.
The judgment, which distinguishes in-house counsels from practising advocates, is expected to reshape how corporates handle confidential legal communications.
Somdutta noted: “This judgment may prompt a major rethinking in companies sharing sensitive information, which they want to be treated as privileged communication."
