Co-authored by Christiaan A. Jordaan. Following a series of significant Supreme Court of Canada decisions within the last decade, the nature and scope of the protection afforded to solicitor-client privileged communications has been expanded in Canada.

In this paper presented to the Advocates' Society's Spring Symposium 2008 – Trials and Tribulations: The Practical Advocate, the authors provide some guidance on navigating the contemporary litigation landscape successfully.
