Sidechick confidentiality: How lawyers protect your private affairs in property transactions

I am married but have been in a relationship that resulted in a daughter who is now six years old. I want to buy an apartment for my second family so that they can live comfortably. I have concluded that it would be cheaper in the long run to buy the apartment instead of paying the ever soaring rent in Nairobi for years. My worry, however, is whether the lawyer I will entrust to undertake the property transaction can let the cat out of the bag. I would wish that the transaction remains private for the interest of peace and benefit of my two families.
