In-House Legal: new information portal is online
The positive feedback received following the start of our monthly Newsletter in May 2018 has encouraged ECLA to launch a new, comprehensive online platform called In-House Legal. The objective is for this web portal to become the go-to address for company lawyers seeking up-to-date information, background analysis, news, and best practices in their areas of interest.

LEGAL PRIVILEGE
In-house
legal privilege recognised under Belgian Competition
Law
The issue of legal privilege of in-house lawyers regarding
EC Competition law has been widely debated for years.
In 1982, the European Court of Justice decided that legal
privilege only applies to communications with "outside
lawyers", refusing to recognise any legal priviege
for in-house lawyers and their communications with their
clients.
ECLA considers this situation most unsatisfactory
and believes that for many reasons it should be readdressed,
including with regard to the recently adopted modernisation
of the application of Articles 81 & 82 of the EU
Treaty.
More information on ECLA's arguments and facts
can be found in the following documents:
