On November 13, OIG Partner Ilona Turner and Attorney Investigator Morgen Hopson will co-present the program “Navigating Privilege and Privacy in Workplace Investigations” at the County Counsels’ Association of California Fall 2026 Employment Law Study Section Meeting.

For employers and investigators, it’s important to understand that attorney-client privilege is not determined solely by who conducts the investigation. Privilege also can be affected by how the employer later uses the investigation in litigation. During their session, they will explore attorney-client privilege, the work-product doctrine, ethical rules, and important considerations relating to confidentiality that arise during workplace investigations, particularly for public-sector clients.
