2. Scope of This Policy

This Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose, retain, and protect personal data when you visit our website, submit a request through the forms, communicate with us, request legal services, or deal with us for employment or business purposes.

This Policy does not replace any specific privacy terms or confidentiality obligations agreed upon in a signed fee agreement with the Firm. Where a signed agreement exists, the relevant professional and contractual obligations shall also apply.

3. Important Legal Notice

Using this website or submitting a request through it does not create an attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute acceptance of legal representation, and does not impose any obligation on the Firm to represent you.

No professional relationship arises unless the Firm expressly accepts the case, completes its internal procedures including conflict of interest checks, and signs the relevant fee agreement.

Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or privileged information through the website or any communication channels before the Firm confirms its ability to accept the case.

We may collect the personal data you provide to us directly, including name, mobile number, email address, company or employer name, job title, client type, type of service requested, preferred method of communication, message details, and any documents or information you choose to share with us.

We may also collect technical and usage data, including IP address, browser type, device data, pages visited, date and time of access, cookie identifiers, and similar data where appropriate.

If you apply for a job or collaborate with us professionally, we may collect employment or professional data such as your CV, qualifications, work experience, and related correspondence.
