Correct. Privilege is a qualified bar on discovery of communications


between attorney and client for the purpose of seeking legal advice (and not advice on how to commit a crime or fraud and get away with it or other types of communications either). Confidentiality is just an ethical duty of the lawyer to his client.

Most of the time the court and opposing counsel get s a privilege log of everything that has been withheld and a chance to call BS if it isn't really privileged (such as, for example, when a company memorializes a non-legal meeting but copies an in-house lawyer and tries to withhold it as privileged, etc.)
