One risk in voluntary disclosure of an internal investigation is that it is a possibility that the voluntary waiver will sweep more broadly than the materials that were actually shared - for example, the waiver might include all otherwise protected communications relating to the same subject matter.[3] Another risk of voluntary disclosure, as seen in areas of the law in which government agencies engage in active enforcement (aggressively pressuring firms to cooperate) is that if there is such voluntary waiver, the protections are likely destroyed permanently - once the materials are disclosed to an agency, these materials are probably discoverable by other adverse parties and agencies.[3
