> put “attorney-client privileged” on documents and to always add a Google lawyer to the list of recipients, even if no legal questions were involved and the lawyer never responded

Wow. One of the very first things I learned when onboarding to a US company is that the client-attorney privilege does not work like that at all.

“Privileged and confidential” is not a legal shibboleth (especially not when used so incorrectly).

I'm a little skeptical of the article, because I know that it's not a legal shibboleth, and I think I learned it when working at Google quite a long time ago.
