If I, as a company director, in Australia, receive legal advice obtained for 
that company, I can share it with the entire Board, and then the Board makes 
the decision on with whom the advice is shared.

The lawyers do not get to decide with whom the advice is shared. 

When assessing legal advice consider
Who asked for it
What questions were actually asked
and what the objectives of obtaining the advice were

for example

Board member AB seeks legal advice on removing Board Chair BC from office
will produce a different result to
Board Chair seeking legal advice on Board member AB's plan to unseat the Chair
