Confidentialité des consultations des juristes d’entreprise
This is a French bill proposed in the National Assembly, the lower house of Parliament, during the 17th legislature. Based on its title, it concerns whether legal advice given by company lawyers (juristes d'entreprise) to their employers should be protected by confidentiality, similar to the protection enjoyed by advice from external lawyers. The metadata does not show the exact provisions, so the details of any change are unclear. The bill would mainly affect companies that employ in-house legal staff, their legal departments, and in-house lawyers themselves. It could also matter for authorities that investigate companies, since confidentiality rules limit what can be seized or disclosed. Please check the full bill text for specific changes.
