¡Hola!

Me está costando encontrar una traducción fiable para este término que alude a un privilegio/derecho otorgado por la legislación estadounidense:

"seeks information protected by the ***accountant-client privilege*** or any other privilege"

Mil gracias,

secreto profesional contable-cliente
Explanation:
You might translate this as "secreto profesional contable-cliente" since "secreto profesional" is used to denote "privilege" in other contexts:

--secreto profesional del abogado or secreto profesional entre abogado y defendido (“lawyer-client privilege;” “attorney-client privilege”)

--secreto profesional médico (“doctor-patient privilege;” “physician-patient privilege”)

--secreto profesional periodístico (or) de los periodistas (“journalist’s privilege;” “reporter’s privilege” or “newsman’s privilege”)

--secreto de confesión (“priest-penitent privilege” or “clergyman-penitent privilege)
