Legal Question in Legal Ethics in California

Cliant privlige

We are plaintiffs in a lawsuit involving real property. We are involved with defendants on an additional property not under dispute. Our attorney was required to deliver back up documentation to opposing attorney regarding settlement on disputed property and includes an established file on the property which is not in dispute. Opposing attorney has touched on a case regarding property currently not in dispute since receiving the file erroneously. Has our attorney committed an ethical violation granting an unfair advantage to opposing attorney whom of which hints at taking the other property to court? Has he committed breach of his fiduciary duty?
