Client Privilege
I read a statement today made by upper management in a digital weekly newsletter sent to employees. The statement made revolved around protecting client proposed project information and not discussing plans outside of professional duties, i. e., design engineering, drafting, surveying and related services.
The statement was made that, essentially, we are not legally bound to not discuss plans in the works, it should not happen outside of our work for the client. My contention is that we are, in fact, legally obligated to protect the privacy of our client’s intentions, just like client/attorney privilege, furthermore, professional rules of ethics in our responsibilities to our clients.
I’m interested in your opinions; I poked around a little and could not find anything on the subject but did not dig too deeply.
