In 2001, Congress passed the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act which requires lawyers to inform certain clients of their policies regarding the privacy of non public personal information.
We collect non public personal information about clients in the course of providing legal services. Such information may be obtained from our client, may be generated as a result of the services we provide, or may be received from third parties involved in or affiliated with our services.
We do not disclose any non public personal information about current or former clients that we obtain in the course of our representation, except as permitted or required by law, including applicable ethics rules or rules of professional conduct. As lawyers, we are bound by strict professional standards of confidentiality. We take our obligation to protect our client's confidences and secrets very seriously. Simply put: The only times we will reveal any information you have given us, or that we have received or that was generated while we represent you, is if you tell us to, if we are required by law to do so, or if a court orders us to do so.
Except as noted above, we restrict access to current and former client's non public personal information to our agents and employees. In order to guard non public personal information of clients and former clients, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with our understanding of the law and our professional standards.
If you have any questions about our privacy policy, please contact any lawyer at the firm.
