A client has a privilege to refuse to disclose--and to prevent others from disclosing--any confidential communication made to facilitate professional legal services to the client: (1) between the client or the client's representative and the client's lawyer or the lawyer's representative; (2) between the client's lawyer and the lawyer's representative; (3) by the client, the client's representative, the client's lawyer, or the lawyer's representative to another lawyer or that lawyer's representative, if: (A) the other lawyer represents another party in a pending case; and (B) the communication concerns a matter of common interest; (4) between the client's representatives or between the client and a client representative; or (5) among lawyers and their representatives representing the same client.”
