We owe strict duties of confidentiality to our clients. These obligations are set out in various legal, regulatory or other professional rules and are reflected in the terms of business and engagement documentation entered into with each client. We are bound by the professional obligations of confidentiality applicable to attorneys licensed in their respective jurisdictions for all services provided including attorney-client privilege.
Before we accept a new instruction, additional information will be required about the potential client and the nature of the proposed work. Such information is needed for purposes of conflict checking, credit checking, client identification procedures and other bona fide purposes. This information (which may include personal data) may be disclosed to our service providers solely for such purposes.
