Legal Privilege Tool (Australia)

The LPP Online Tool helps users identify when legal professional privilege applies, how to maintain it, and what steps to take to avoid accidental waiver.

The tool is a self-serve decision tree interface, and by answering a series of guided questions, users are enabled to determine which documents can legitimately be withheld on grounds of privilege.

Notes providing guidance and interpretation of relevant case law are accessible directly from the question screens, assisting the user in answering the questions without losing their place in the analysis. When all the relevant questions have been completed, an on-screen report provides a handy summary of the answers given and the likely privilege status of the document.

This resource is designed for in-house legal teams, external legal advisors, compliance officers, and business leaders operating in Australia. It is particularly useful for professionals navigating litigation or dispute resolution, regulatory enforcement action, internal or external investigations and need practical guidance on scenarios that arise when dealing with LPP in Australia.

The LPP Online Tool is available for free and no downloads or installations are required - just open the tool in your browser and begin using it immediately.
