Welcome to our website! By accessing or using our services, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following Privacy Policy. Please read them carefully.
Some of the case summaries, reports of past results and individual lawyer biographies on this website describe past matters handled for clients of the Firm. These descriptions are meant only to provide information to the public about the activities and experience of our employees. They are not intended as a guarantee that the same or similar results can be obtained in every matter undertaken by our employees. You must not assume that a similar result can be obtained in a legal matter of interest to you. The outcome of a particular matter can depend on a variety of factors—including the specific factual and legal circumstances, the ability of opposing counsel, and, often, unexpected developments beyond the control of any client or lawyer.
Every lawyer and employee of the Firm is required by the Code of Professional Responsibility of his or her state to keep all matters related to the business of our clients and customers confidential. This confidentiality requirement extends to all personnel and precludes discussion of a client's business with persons other than those with a need to know who are actively working for the Firm or who are duly authorized representatives of the client. In addition to the professional requirements of confidentiality, the Firm has a strict policy on confidentiality of client information. We value the trust and confidence, which our clients place in us.
This Privacy Policy Notice tells you the kind of information we collect about you, with whom we share it and how we protect it responsibly. The notice applies to clients who obtain financial products or services for personal, family or household purposes. The examples you find in this notice are for purposes of illustration only and should not be considered to be a complete description of our information practices.
We collect nonpublic personal information about you from the following sources:
Information we receive from you with respect to our representation, from applications for loans with third parties or from other forms;
Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates or others; and
Information which we receive from third parties as a result of our representation, including persons providing services in connection with your transactions.
We do not disclose information about you to third parties except as required or permitted by law, specifically authorized by you or required under the Rules of Professional Conduct applicable to the employees in our Firm. If your relationship with us terminates or becomes inactive, we will continue to treat the information we have collected about you as confidential, in accordance with this Notice.
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect client information. Our employees are bound by laws and our policies which limit their access to client information to access for legitimate purposes only and which require them to keep information about clients confidential.
You may have other privacy protections under some provincial or federal laws. We will comply with all applicable laws as to information about you.
