No. All communications between a lawyer and his client is confidential, at least as it pertains to the client's case.However, there may be a future time when a lawyer is summoned to speak in court or to police about his client conversations. For example, his client is convicted, goes to prison, and is murdered there. In the murder case, a judge may overrule the lawyer/client confidentiality, and the lawyer would then have to talk about what he knows, in the interests of identifying &/or convicting his late-client's killer.

Can a lawyer tell his client about states evidence?
The general idea is that a lawyer isn't really supposed to withhold any information from his client - after all the lawyer is instructed by his client to carry out legal work on his behalf so any withholding of information could be detrimental to the client. If the State has evidence in relation to the client then the client needs to know and of course the lawyer should tell him - otherwise the case wont run properly. The only example I can think of is where the lawyer discovers either directly through the client or via some other agency that the client is involved in fraudulent activity. In England the lawyer is legally obliged to inform the authorities of this and is not permitted to "tip-off" his client that a subsequent arrest is imminent.
