How does the attorney-client privilege extend to High Q professionals?
Based on existing case law, namely United States v. Nobles, 422 U.S. 225, 238-39 (1975) and United States v. Pipkins, 528 F.2d 559, 563 (5th Cir. 1976), where the attorney-client privilege extended to investigators and handwriting analysts respectively, it is clear that the attorney-client privilege naturally applies to legal assistants and other agents of attorneys.
