Attorney-client privilege is a legal principle that protects communications between a lawyer and their client from disclosure in legal proceedings. Attorney-client privilege is based on the idea that individuals have a right to seek legal advice without fear of having those communications used against them in court. Attorney-client privilege applies to both oral and written communications between a lawyer and their client, and it covers communications made in the course of seeking or providing legal advice. Attorney-client privilege is an important principle of the legal system, as it encourages individuals to seek legal advice and ensures that lawyers can provide frank and candid advice to their clients. Attorney-client privilege can be waived if the client voluntarily discloses the privileged information or if there is a court order requiring its disclosure.
