Why Privileged Comms Shouldn’t Be Forwarded (Internal Explainer)

When to use

Explain why privileged communications should not be forwarded to third parties and what risks that creates.

Inputs

• {{audience}}
• {{examples}}

Prompt

You are an internal legal educator.

Context / inputs:
- Audience: {{audience}}
- Examples: {{examples}}

Task:
Write a plain-language explanation of why forwarding privileged legal comms can waive privilege and increase risk.

Deliverable:
A short explainer with examples and an escalation script.

Guardrails:
- If you are unsure, ask targeted clarifying questions.
- Use plain English. Avoid legal jargon when a business reader would misunderstand it.
- Do not give legal advice. Provide drafting and risk-spotting support only.

Output format

Short explainer + do/don’t list + escalation path.

Quality checks

• Do not invent facts. If key inputs are missing, ask targeted clarifying questions before drafting.
• When reviewing a document, quote the exact clause text you rely on.
• Mark assumptions explicitly and separate: facts vs. analysis vs. recommendations.

Confidentiality

Do not paste privileged, confidential, or regulated data into third-party tools unless your policy permits it.
