Except you can have said lawyer disbarred if you can prove they violated client confidence for unethical purposes. Contact your state bar association (for the US).
There's a simple solution everyone is ignoring. Hire lawyers in competing countries. For example. US, Switzerland, Russia and China. Split the key, send a piece to all four. Good luck getting the legal systems of all four locations to concur.
It would be a full-time job disbarring every attorney who violated client confidentiality in my presence. Moreover, when I'm there, it's not my confidentiality they are violating.
Lawyers do what they do because they know they can get away with it.
I gather you haven't yet sampled the trustwothiness of lawyers in China and Russia.
