attorney-client communication

Attorney-client communication refers to the exchange of information between a lawyer and their client, which is protected by confidentiality laws. This means that anything a client discusses with their attorney—facts, concerns, or documents—must remain private. The purpose is to ensure clients can freely share all relevant details so lawyers can provide informed advice and effective representation. This confidentiality encourages openness, helps build trust, and is protected by legal privilege, meaning the information cannot be disclosed without the client's consent, except in specific legal circumstances.
