Privacy

Until you have a signed engagement agreement with the Firm, please do not send us confidential, privileged, or sensitive information through the Site, the contact form, or email, and please do not upload confidential documents. Information you submit at the inquiry stage is not treated as confidential or privileged, and we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted over the internet. See Sections 1 and 3 of our Terms of Use.

Information you provide to us. When you use the contact form or otherwise reach out, we collect the information you choose to give us, which may include:

• your first and last name;
• your organization (optional);
• your email address;
• your telephone number (optional);
• the message you write;
• the “amount at stake” range you select; and
• any files you choose to attach (the form accepts common document and image formats and asks you not to upload confidential information).

Information collected automatically. When you submit the contact form, our systems and service providers also process limited technical information to operate the Site and prevent abuse, including:

• your browser’s user-agent string;
• the date and time of your submission; and
• your IP address, which we use transiently for rate-limiting and bot detection. We do not store your raw IP address with your submission — we store only a one-way salted hash of it, which lets us detect repeat abuse without retaining the address itself.

We do not use advertising, analytics, or cross-site tracking cookies on the Site. We do not build marketing profiles, and we do not track your activity across other websites.

We use the information above to:

• respond to your inquiry and communicate with you;
• evaluate a potential matter and perform conflict-of-interest checks before any engagement;
• operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site, including detecting and preventing spam, fraud, and abuse;
• keep appropriate business and professional records; and
• comply with applicable laws, regulations, and rules of professional conduct, and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Where required by law, we rely on your consent (which you give by choosing to submit the form), our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Site and responding to inquiries, and compliance with our legal and professional obligations as the bases for processing.

The Site does not use advertising or analytics cookies. Our bot-protection provider, Cloudflare Turnstile, may set a strictly necessary cookie or process limited technical signals to distinguish humans from automated traffic when you submit the form. These are used for security and to make the form work; they are not used to track you for advertising. Because there is no uniform standard, we do not respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only as follows:

Service providers. We use a small number of vendors to operate the Site and the contact form. They process information on our behalf, under contract, and only as needed to provide their services:

• SanityContent management and storage of your submission and any files you upload.
• ResendSends our team an email notification when you submit the form.
• CloudflareBot and abuse detection on the form (Turnstile); processes technical signals, including your IP address.
• VercelHosting for the website and the servers that process your submission.

• Professional advisors. We may share information with our own advisors (such as accountants, insurers, or counsel) where appropriate.
• Legal and safety. We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, regulation, legal process, or rule of professional conduct, or is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Firm, our clients, or others.
• Business transfers. If the Firm reorganizes or transfers part of its practice, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Policy.

We maintain administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information submitted through the Site, including a same-origin check, rate limiting, a hidden honeypot and submission-timing check, bot verification, and validation of uploaded files. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. As noted above, please do not transmit confidential or privileged information through the Site. Files you upload are stored with our service providers and may be accessible to anyone who obtains the file’s link.

We retain contact-form submissions and related information for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, to perform and document conflict-of-interest checks, to meet our recordkeeping and professional-responsibility obligations, and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Retention periods vary with the nature of the inquiry and applicable rules. When information is no longer needed for these purposes, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

You can choose not to submit information through the Site. You may also ask us to access, correct, update, or delete the personal information you submitted by contacting us using the details below, and we will respond as required by applicable law. Please note that we may need to verify your identity, and that we may retain information where we have a legal, regulatory, or professional-responsibility obligation to do so, or where it is needed to establish or defend legal claims.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights:

• U.S. state privacy laws. Residents of certain states (for example, California) may have rights to know, access, correct, and delete personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
• EEA / UK. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing, and to data portability, and you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Our servers and service providers are located in the United States, so information you submit will be transferred to and processed there.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

The Site may link to third-party websites and resources that we do not control. This Policy does not apply to those sites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and post the new version on the Site. Changes are effective when posted.
