Professional secrecy and confidentiality of correspondence between lawyers
Confidentiality and professional secrecy are fundamental principles of the legal profession and constitute an incomparable security for the client.
Everything you say to your lawyer is covered by professional secrecy; no authority can force him to reveal what you tell him.
The lawyer can oppose this professional secrecy to everyone, both to magistrates and to the Police and to the various administrations, including the tax administration.
In the specific field of Business Law, this secrecy will protect the information that the company shares with its lawyer (trade secret, commercial and financial strategy, etc.).
Correspondence between lawyers is strictly confidential, and any discussions or negotiations contained in these exchanges are covered by this guarantee. This confidentiality allows for negotiations to be conducted freely. This specificity of the legal profession is an essential guarantee for clients.
The client therefore has the absolute guarantee that the proposals, offers or admissions that he may have made through his Lawyer will remain secret.
No one may produce in court correspondence covered by confidentiality.
"I swear as a Lawyer to exercise my functions with dignity,
conscience, independence, probity and humanity."
This oath constitutes the foundation of the code of ethics which binds the Lawyer for his entire professional life.
The Lawyer is not a service provider like any other: he is an auxiliary of Justice.
The Firm undertakes to assist you, in the Consulting or litigation phase, in strict compliance with this Oath.
