The content on this website is provided for general information only.

It is not legal advice and should not be relied on as legal advice.

You should obtain advice from an attorney about your specific facts and circumstances.

Using this website, sending an enquiry, completing a form, or communicating with us through the website does not create an attorney-client relationship.

We only act for you once we have agreed to do so in writing.

We may first need to complete conflict checks, FICA onboarding, risk checks, and other professional or legal requirements.

Sending information to us through the website does not oblige us to act for you, respond within a particular time, preserve rights, stop prescription, or take any step in relation to a matter.

You should not rely on website communication for urgent legal steps unless we have agreed in writing to act for you.

Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or legally privileged information through the website unless we have first agreed to receive it.
