Ethical duty

English to Spanish Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Lawyer-Client agreement
However, lawyers are under an independent ethical duty to reveal privileged information, such as illegal or fraudulent acts committed by clients in the course of the attorney client relationship, the intention of the client to commit a crime or when the lawyer is required to divulge the information by law or court order.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

agree Luis M. Sosa : De acuerdo; no, no es un deber jurídico. A veces (o cada vez con mayor frecuencia) la ley está reñida con la ética.

Efectivamente, la tendencia es que en la práctica el secreto profesional se va convirtiendo en algo menos "sagrado".
