Does attorney-client privilege apply to information regarding fees paid by a client?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Tornay v. U.S., 840 F.2d 1424 (9th Cir. 1988):
We apply the attorney-client privilege only when necessary to effectuate its limited purpose of encouraging complete disclosure by the client. See United States v. Osborn, 561 F.2d 1334, 1339 (9th Cir.1977). We are not persuaded that its purpose will be furthered by extending the privilege to information regarding fees paid by a client.
