CFPB UPDATE: Attorney-Client Privilege Discussion: Senate Passes Bill
On November 14, 2012, Pepper Hamilton attorneys Richard P. Eckman and Stephen G. Harvey conducted a webinar entitled "Is the Attorney-Client Privilege Under Attack by the CFPB?" to review a new rule by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to codify protections for privileged information submitted to it by the financial institutions it regulates. The rule follows the CFPB's announced expectation that, upon request, the entities the CFPB supervises will disclose privileged material to it.
The U.S. Senate passed a bill concerning privileged information provided to the CFPB on December 11, 2012 and was signed by President Obama on December 20, 2012. Pepper partner Frank A. Mayer, III sat down to provide an update to this attorney-client privilege discussion in light of these recent developments.

Politics in the Workplace
With the increased volume of political ads and news coverage of the upcoming election, so comes the volume and intensity of political conversations.

Susan Lessack, a partner with the Berwyn office of Pepper Hamilton LLP who concentrates her practice on labor and employment law, joins us in this podcast with suggestions about how employers can minimize these political distractions.
