In circumstances where RCM has been retained and instructed through your lawyer, any claim of solicitor/client privilege that is extended over RCM’s provision of services can only be waived by you, the client. Your lawyer will remain responsible for structuring the circumstances that support a claim of privilege, and for defending such claims of privilege.

However, you are not permitted to reproduce or distribute RCM’s work product to third parties without RCM’s prior written consent.
