B. Defense auxiliary of justice
Protector of public and private freedoms, it is also the guarantor of the rights of individuals and corporations.
For this reason and to perform its mission, it has two incomparable advantages:
Confidentiality
The secrecy that binds the attorney-client privilege in all circumstances is a fundamental guarantee.
The nature of his mission leads the lawyer to become the guardian of the secrets of his client.
But nobody can force him to reveal what has been entrusted as secret or confidential.
Not even a judge, not even the customer himself ...
The law reinforces the rule of professional conduct and respect of confidentiality covers not only the judicial role of the lawyer but also on legal advice the council gave to a client ...
General and absolute, fundamental principle is, moreover, unlimited in time.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality covers verbal communication and exchange of letters between lawyers.
Lawyer couldn't make public a letter from one of his colleagues and used for example in a trial unless they have decided by mutual agreement to allow their exchange of correspondence official.
This confidentiality is an essential tool for clarity and neutrality of the negotiation.
It allows to put forward a proposal or adjust an initial bid with confidence if it fails no one will be informed of reciprocal concessions that everyone was ready to go.
And until the transaction is signed or disagreement consumed.
It is a legal and extra key that allows also to avoid many of the trials.
Only a negotiation conducted by two lawyers can be done with such efficiency that does not claim interlocutors acting privately or outside the profession.
Duty and necessity loyalty guarantee a fair trial.
Source of debate and the fundamental principle of fairness compels the lawyer to his brother all relevant documentation on which he bases his argument before a court to allow the other party to analyze and discuss.
This ethical obligation which is to implement a debate is essential to ensuring a fair trial and negotiation on equal one essential requirement: the rule of conflict of interest.
No lawyer can not advise or defend two parties whose interests might be led to oppose.
So if a conflict of interest arose - or is likely to emerge - between different clients of one attorney, the latter can only abstain.
This principle guarantees the independence of lawyers that do not promote one of its customers at the expense of another.
It also helps ensure compliance with professional secrecy, the lawyer can not use information it holds one of its customers to serve and promote the interests of another.
Finally a lawyer can not accept advice or defend a new client whose interests are at odds with those of a previous client.
