HRS §415A-12
Professional corporations and client privacy
This section says that when a professional corporation provides services, the relationship with clients is the same as if a single professional provided them. Any legal privacy protections for client communications still apply to the corporation and its employees.
The statute, as written — Professional relationships; privileged communications
(a) The relationship between an individual performing professional services as an employee of a professional corporation and a client or patient shall be the same as if the individual performed the services as a sole practitioner. (b) The relationship between a professional corporation performing professional services and the client or patient shall be the same as between the client or patient and the individual performing the services. (c) Any privilege applicable to communications between a person rendering professional services and the person receiving the services recognized under the laws of this State, whether statutory or deriving from common law, shall remain inviolate and shall extend to a professional corporation and its employees in all cases in which it shall be applicable to communications between an individual rendering professional services on behalf of the corporation and the person receiving the services.
