neutral  Jule Eitel: ein Hit in Google, nicht sehr überzeugend, außerdem dürfte "communication" hier im Sinne von Mitteilung gemeint sein.

Dieses Schreiben/diese Mitteilung unterliegt dem Anwaltsgeheimnis


Explanation:
Das "attorney-client privilege" entspricht unserem Anwaltsgeheimnis, ich würde daher eine Formulierung wie oben wählen.

attorney-client privilege
n. the requirement that an attorney may not reveal communications, conversations and letters between himself/ herself and his/her client, under the theory that a person should be able to speak freely and honestly with his/her attorney without fear of future revelation. In a trial, deposition, and written questions (interrogatories), the attorney is required and the client is entitled to refuse to answer any question or produce any document which was part of the attorney-client contact. The problem sometimes arises as to whether the conversation was in an attorney-client relationship. If a man tells his neighbor who happens to be an attorney that he embezzled funds, is he doing so while seeking legal advice or just chatting over the fence (which is the test)? If a document was prepared as part of the legal preparation for a client, it usually is a "work product" and is also privileged. Similar privileges exist between pastor and parishioner and doctor and patient.

agree  Steffen Walter: Aber das wäre ja eher schon durch "privileged and confidential" abgedeckt. Oder soll der deutsche Satz den kompletten englischen Teil repräsentieren?

  -> Der Unterschied zwischen "Vertraulich/Geheim" und "Anwaltsgeheimnis" liegt in der besonderen Schutzwürdigkeit des Letzteren, weshalb es hier auch gesondert aufgeführt wird. Gilt ebenso für das "attorney work product"
