1. Legal Information and No Attorney-Client Relationship

No Attorney-Client Relationship. Viewing or using this Site, submitting a contact form, sending an email, or otherwise communicating with the Firm through this Site does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when: (a) the Firm has expressly agreed in writing to represent you; (b) a written fee agreement or engagement letter has been signed by both you and the Firm; and (c) any required conflict checks have been completed. Until an attorney-client relationship is established, any information you provide to us is not confidential or privileged.

Prospective Clients. If you are seeking legal representation, do not send confidential or sensitive information through this Site until you have spoken with an attorney at the Firm and confirmed that we have agreed to represent you.

Client Engagement Agreements. If you become a client of the Firm, the terms of our attorney-client relationship will be governed by a separate written engagement agreement and applicable rules of professional conduct. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and an engagement agreement, the engagement agreement and professional ethics rules will control with respect to legal services provided to you.

2. No Legal Advice

The content of this Site is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice, legal opinion, or a substitute for consultation with qualified legal counsel. You should not act or refrain from acting based on information contained on this Site without first seeking appropriate legal advice from a licensed attorney regarding your specific circumstances.

In matters requiring attorneys licensed in jurisdictions where the Firm's attorneys are not admitted, the Firm may associate with, partner with, or refer your matter to attorneys who are licensed in the appropriate jurisdiction(s). Any such arrangement will be disclosed to you and will require your consent. The Firm may share fees with co-counsel or referring attorneys in accordance with applicable rules of professional conduct.

No Solicitation Outside Licensed Jurisdictions.
