The attorney-client and attorney work-product privileges protect confidential communications between lawyers and their clients as well as attorney reports prepared by the attorneys in connection with representing the clients. These rules are particularly important when it comes to defending a SIIA audit. Employee-conducted and IT-vendor audits place your company at risk because the results of those audits are not confidential and are subject to disclosure if the SIIA chooses to institute litigation against you. Creating a paper trail that may be used against you is not in your company’s best interest. When you engage Scott & Scott, LLP to defend a SIIA audit, our attorney reports summarizing audit results are fully protected and not subject to disclosure.
