The initiative to extend the legal professional privilege to in-house counsel introduced in the Swiss legislature by Swiss Council President Christa Markwalder has been voted down by the second chamber of the legislature. ACC had submitted a letter in support of the initiative. In voting against the measure, the Council of States Judicial Committee acknowledged the need to improve the current situation of LPP for in-house counsel and requested that the Council of States present potential solutions. ACC will continue to follow this issue and look for opportunities to present potential alternatives.
