Terms of Use
1. Website Purpose and Information
The website is provided for general information about the Firm, its professionals, practice areas, publications, updates and services. Website content is intended to be informative and should not be treated as a complete statement of law, legal strategy or the Firm’s advice in any particular matter.
2. No Legal Advice or Attorney-Client Relationship
Nothing on the website, including articles, FAQs, case updates, newsletters, forms or other material, constitutes legal advice or a legal opinion. Sending an enquiry or communicating through the website does not create an attorney-client relationship. A professional relationship arises only after the Firm has expressly agreed to act and the relevant engagement terms, including any applicable conflict check and fee arrangement, have been completed.
3. No Reliance
Laws, regulations, procedures, registry practices and case law may change, and website material may not always reflect the latest development. You should obtain advice specific to your circumstances before acting or refraining from action. The Firm does not accept responsibility for decisions made solely on the basis of website content.
