By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

01No legal advice; no attorney–client relationship

The content of this Site is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax or professional advice, nor a solicitation for any specific matter. You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of any content here without seeking qualified professional counsel licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.

Accessing the Site, or contacting the Firm through it, does not create an attorney–client relationship.

Until then, please do not send us confidential or sensitive information, as it may not be treated as privileged. Your use of the Site does not prevent the Firm from representing any other party, including parties whose interests may be adverse to yours.
