A quick definition of lawyer–client privilege:

Lawyer-client privilege is a special legal right that protects the confidentiality of communications between a lawyer and their client. This means that the lawyer cannot disclose any information that the client tells them, unless the client gives permission or there is a legal exception. The purpose of this privilege is to encourage clients to be open and honest with their lawyers, so that they can receive the best legal advice possible.

A more thorough explanation:

Lawyer-Client Privilege is a legal right that grants a client the freedom to share confidential information with their lawyer without fear of it being disclosed to others. This privilege is also known as Attorney-Client Privilege. It is an exception to the duty of a lawyer to disclose information to the court or other parties. The lawyer cannot be forced to testify about the information shared by the client.

For example, if a client tells their lawyer about a crime they committed, the lawyer cannot disclose this information to the police or the court. The lawyer-client privilege applies to all communications between the client and the lawyer, including emails, phone calls, and in-person meetings.

This privilege is important because it allows clients to be open and honest with their lawyers, which helps the lawyer provide the best possible legal advice. It also helps to protect the client's privacy and prevent them from being incriminated by their own words.
