New Answer Book! Antitrust Law Answer Book 2015

antitrust abPractising Law Institute (PLI) has announced the release of their newest Answer Book title, Antitrust Law Answer Book 2015.

American antitrust law, now over a century old, is a huge and complex area of practice. Antitrust Law Answer Book 2015 steps back from the many details to provide a basic, practical overview of U.S. antitrust law for the non-expert who wants to understand the primary concepts and to know when to seek more expert help.

Antitrust Law Answer Book 2015 covers such issues as investigations and litigation, agreements between suppliers and customers, monopolization claims, pricing, and unilateral conduct not related to price. The authors, attorneys at Jones Day with decades of experience in the area, also provide suggestions for effective antitrust compliance programs that can help you avoid or minimize future problems.

The recently published Antitrust Law Answer Book 2015:

  • Focuses on the most common business problems as well as those that illustrate the entire scope of the U.S. antitrust laws
  • Includes illustrative examples and real-life case studies to provide additional background and practical guidance
  • Is written in plain English to provide practical, useful answers, not just theoretical musings
  • Contains a separate chapter on the complex antitrust issues arising in the intellectual property area

New Book! Attorney-Client Privilege Answer Book 2015

attorney client answer bookPractising Law Institute (PLI) has announced the release of their newest title, Attorney-Client Privilege Answer Book 2015.

Attorney-Client Privilege Answer Book 2015 provides, in a Q&A format, clear answers to the questions that attorneys grapple with on a regular basis as to what is, or is not, covered by the attorney-client privilege. As the bounds of the attorney-client privilege are narrower and less clear than many lawyers —and most clients — believe them to be, Attorney-Client Privilege Answer Book clarifies, and provides practical examples, of what is covered. It also discusses how the attorney-client privilege differs from related legal concepts such as the work-product doctrine and the lawyer’s professional duty to preserve client confidences.

Attorney-Client Privilege Answer Book answers such questions as:

  • How does the attorney-client privilege, which assures the confidentiality of client communication, coordinate with the fundamental tenet of the judicial system — to seek the truth?
  • How does the court decide which body of law applies to the privilege issue being decided?
  • When is an attorney acting as an attorney in a specific matter, as opposed to providing, for instance, simple business advice?
  • Who is a client — for purposes of invoking the privilege? And if the client is not a person, which employees of the business may communicate with the attorney on behalf of the client?
  • What is a communication that is protected? And what kinds of communications are not protected?
  • Since only communications intended to be confidential are protected, when have courts not found the necessary intention to keep a communication secret?
