I have a client that has laptops that are shared among employees and management. Is there a solution to sharing folders with privacy in this kind of environment?

ie: dropbox could be used for all the documents that everyone can see, but there are some documents just for managers. But there are not management specific computers. Everyone just kind of grabs whatever computer is available at that time.

Is there a good way to implement something like this?

I think that DropBox used in a Web browser should be able to do what you need.
You can share individual folders with specific Email addresses.
 
What type of business is it? Make sure they are following applicable legal regulations. Most of these paid online services has great granularity in terms of paid services. Ignore the free stuff or if they insist on free you could set them up with their private ownCloud, or similar, server. But that still is not free since there are the setup costs.
 
I'm using Turnkey Linux File Server at one location currently in an Oracle VM VirtualBox so it's completely free. I backup the files from the network share and the vdk file daily. I'm not saying this is the best solution, I had to come up with something that would run on a windows 7 pro box without adding new hardware.

This is not free but I've played with it a bit and I like code 42 products.
