Abstract

The introduction of Alternative Business Structures (ABS’s) in Autumn 2011 gives rise to the concern that potential clients may be reluctant to instruct an ABS due to the risk that communications may not be subject to legal professional privilege. This article considers whether the protections provided by section 190 of the 2007 Act are adequate to ensure that such concerns are unfounded.
