Legal Privilege

Legal privilege is a legal principle that protects certain communications between a client and their lawyer from being disclosed to others, such as in court or investigations. This privilege encourages open and honest conversations, ensuring clients can share all relevant information without fear that it will be used against them. It applies to confidential advice, discussions, and documents related to legal matters, and helps maintain the trust essential for effective legal representation. However, privilege can be limited or waived if confidentiality is broken or if the communication is for an illegal purpose.
