Let's get this straight. Haller won't breach attorney-client privilege, but he will frame his client and arrange for bikies to bash him.
I don't think attorney-client privilege would even apply as the murder confession is not part of a formal interview and relates to a different case.
Anyway, once he has a conflict with his client Haller should quit the case. It's unethical for him to continue with it.

They have ethics when they want to.
It's that man again!!
Well maybe instead of ethics, he just didn't want to get disbarred in this case. That's why he took an indirect route.
shareit 's ethical to kill a murderer.
shareWe learned all about Haller's ethics when he refused to proceed with his client's trial until he was overpaid. Then we see another example when he pretends to pay the "paparazzo" so he can deduct it as an expense and then splits the money with him 80-20, keeping the 80. Then he tries to get his ex-wife to reveal prosecution strategy and he also bribes people in the prosecution office to get advance info and calls the other guy dishonest for putting false evidence in the file.
I don't think Haller's ethics are a problem. He doe not have any. He does however have a moral compass that provides him with a very good sense of direction.
Yeah, but he's good.

Realistic, and that's what I was thinking, too. But it would have cut the movie short, so they had to do the implausible. It was fantasy after that.
Yeah, but that would have made it a short, boring movie.

Haller does what he has to do. He's not so much concerned with ethics; he's just covering his ass so he doesn't get popped for any violations later.
