Abstract
The spectacular development of the market of legal services determined the development of some rules for the protection of the professional body of lawyers, but also of their clientele, starting from the definition, redefinition and updating of some fundamental principles regarding the way of conducting the lawyer's activity, among the most important being the obligation to preserve professional confidentiality.
