When professional partnerships face conflicting legal and ethical obligations

My consulting partner and I discovered that our client is using our diversity assessment data to identify and quietly push out employees who raised discrimination concerns, and we can't agree about whether our confidentiality agreement prevents us from warning people or reporting it. She thinks we're legally bound to stay silent, but I think we're morally bound to speak up.
