Client-Attorney Privilege

Client-Attorney Privilege

Position of Trust

The attorney is independent and only committed to his or her client. This ensures that the client can fully confide in his or her attorney. The relation of trust is an important prerequisite for providing the best possible advice to and representation of the client.

Client-Attorney Privilege

The client-attorney privilege is protected by law through the professional secrecy obligation by which the attorney is bound with respect to everyone, even the courts and public authorities. Therefore, a client can openly discuss any matter with his attorney.
