Email Privacy Warning
E-mail is not yet a secure and private means of communication. As an e-mail message is transmitted through the internet there are opportunities when the message may be accessed by third parties. The speed and volume of traffic mean that as a practical matter this presents little risk. But if someone were looking for your message they could find it.
Because of this potential some people believe - but others disagree - that sending an unencrypted e-mail outside a company's intranet may lose the attorney-client privilege for that communication. This would be significant because we could lose the privacy protections that the privilege provides, and in a litigation context we may be required to produce the communication in discovery. Most courts which have considered the matter have concluded that use of ordinary e-mail does not lose the attorney client privilege.
To avoid this issue entirely, however, you should consider using an encryption procedure when sending important communications or sensitive attachments.
