1. OUR SERVICES

The information provided when using the Services is for general information purposes. The Services are not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

No legal advice; no attorney-client relationship

Nothing on the Services constitutes legal advice, a legal opinion, or a guarantee of outcome. Your use of the Services, including sending us messages or documents through contact forms or email, does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. We only undertake representation after (i) a conflicts check, and (ii) a written engagement agreement (and, where applicable, payment/retainer arrangements).

Do not send sensitive information

Please do not send confidential, time-sensitive, or sensitive personal data through the Services unless and until we confirm secure channels and a formal engagement. Any unsolicited information you send may not be treated as confidential to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
