For all who advise on cross-border disputes, legal professional privilege is a real and very important issue; advice that is privileged in one country may not be protected in others and even within a jurisdiction, the scope and application of legal professional privilege is the subject of debate.

- Is the concept of disclosure of documents recognised?
- Is a right to privilege recognised?
- If so, what types of document may be privileged?
- Is the concept of in-house lawyer privilege recognised?
- Are there any limiting factors?
