Legal

Terms of Use

These terms govern use of this website. They do not govern any engagement: the terms on which we act on a matter are agreed separately in writing.

Draft for legal review. Structure and intended position only. Bracketed items must be completed, and the whole must be checked against the professional conduct rules that apply to the firm before publication.

No attorney–client relationship

Reading this site, sending an instruction through it, or corresponding with us does not by itself create an attorney–client relationship. A relationship arises only when we have confirmed we are able to act, completed our conflicts and onboarding checks, and agreed terms of engagement in writing.

Confidentiality of unsolicited material

Please do not send confidential or sensitive material before we have confirmed we can act and confidentiality terms are in place. Material sent before that point may not be treated as confidential, and sending it may in some circumstances prevent us from acting for you or for another party.

Accuracy and currency

Law and Office practice change. Material on this site is accurate as at the date stated on it and is not updated continuously. Where a piece is marked as draft or pending professional review, it has not been cleared for reliance at all.
