Information Collected Automatically

• Our      Website uses reCAPTCHA (provided by Google) to protect against bot      submissions. Google's reCAPTCHA may collect IP addresses and other      technical information. See Google's privacy practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
• We use      cookies and similar tracking technologies to analyze how visitors use the      Website, improve functionality, and enhance your experience.

We use the information we collect to:

• Improve      our Website and services
• Comply      with legal obligations
• Protect      the security and integrity of the Website

3. Attorney-Client Privilege and Confidentiality

Important Notice:

Information you provide through the contact form does not establish an attorney-client relationship until we formally agree to represent you and you agree to our engagement terms. Communications prior to engagement are not protected by attorney-client privilege unless a formal representation relationship exists.

If you become a client, all communications with the Firm are confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege and applicable professional rules of conduct.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only when:

• Required      by law or court order
• Necessary      to provide our services (e.g., with co-counsel or service providers bound      by confidentiality obligations)
• Required      by professional ethical rules
• You      have explicitly consented

Third-Party Services

Our Website uses third-party services including:

• Google      reCAPTCHA for form protection
• Hosting      and analytics providers to operate the Website
• Email      and communication platforms to respond to inquiries

These providers are bound by their own privacy policies and, where applicable, contractual confidentiality obligations.

5. Data Retention

We retain contact information and communications for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry. If you become a client, we retain records in accordance with professional rules of conduct — typically 4-5 years after the matter concludes, unless longer retention is required by law or requested by you.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

• Encryption      of data in transit (TLS/SSL)
• Secure      hosting infrastructure
