We may use personally identifiable information held about you in the following ways:

Business Uses: to evaluate whether to represent you; to open files; for relationship management; for verifications checks such as sanction screening and anti-money laundering checks; to provide you with the legal services requested or to carry out our obligations arising from any agreements you enter into with us; in relation to prospective staff and lawyers; to establish and manage accounts; and to analyze and develop new services and our website;

Social Networking

We maintain presence on several social networking and blogging platforms, such as Facebook and LinkedIn. Through these platforms and features, we receive some personally identifiable information about you, and this Privacy Policy applies to that information as well. In addition, third party social networking platforms and blogging platforms have their own privacy policies which explain how the third parties that provide them will use and protect your information, and we encourage you to read them.


Do Not Track Disclosures

Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” (DNT) signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they are even aware of them. We currently do not change our tracking practices in response to DNT settings in your web browser. Our third party partners, such as web analytics companies, collect information about your online activities over time and across our website and other online properties. We utilize Google Analytics for our web analytics and you can opt out of your website usage data being included in our Google Analytics reports by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.


How Do We Protect Personally Identifiable Information You Provide to Us?

We make reasonable efforts to protect personally identifiable information that you submit over the website from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.  However, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, the firm does not warrant or represent that its level of security meets or exceeds any particular standard, and no server or internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free.  You should take this into account when submitting personal or confidential data on any websites, including ours.  Similarly, any information that you send us through the websites is not confidential or privileged.

We will endeavor not to keep your personally identifiable information in a form that allows you to be identified for any longer than is reasonably necessary for achieving the permitted purposes. This means that data will be destroyed or erased from our systems or anonymized when it has reached the applicable retention period, up to one year.
