in order to keep communications privileged does the phrase attorney client privilege need to be listed on all communication? Whats about "personal and confidential"

Same with emails?

No. communications between attorneys and clients are presumed priviledged. Many times the phrase is used to empahsize the fact. But, there are certain technical requirements that the phrase appear on documents when dealing with a governmental entity or a corporation.

I've read ethics opinions that stated that attorney client privilege attaches to all writings between attorney and client. I've also read court cases that states that the privilege attaches when asserted on the written communication. I'd say it doesnt hurt to write the phrase on everything, even emails. Especially if you are charging the client by the sentence!

Its my understanding that email communications can be intercepted (for homeand security)even if the phrase "attorney client privilege" is asserted on the message. Its unclear as to whether the any privilege attaches in such a situation.
