Confidentiality
Firm's Statement of Confidentiality
- Confidentiality is of paramount
importance in IP law.
- Confidentiality is maintained throughout
a representation and thereafter.
- No confidential information is ever
disclosed beyond the representation except when authorized in writing by a
client.
- The identities of clients and initial
inquiries find their way to no list whatsoever.
- The firm's reputation and my license to
practice law depend on this commitment.
- This confidentiality statement and its
commitment extends to all matters handled by the Firm, within or outside of
this website.
Check credentials
Confidential information must not be submitted
with an initial inquiry.
- For your protection and mine, confidential
information must not be submitted with an initial inquiry.
- Any material that appears to be confidential
and is received with an initial inquiry must and will be returned to the
submitter or destroyed, depending on the circumstances and practicalities.
- If your initial inquiry cannot be expressed
without revealing confidential information, a private consultation is probably
required.
Confidential information should not be submitted
by email on a third-party access computer.
- The legal field now
generally considers communications by email are confidential.
- Major exception - if a third-party access computer,
or email account available on such a computer, is used.
- Third-party access computers/accounts emails include
(but are not limited to) emails which an employer, by contract or office
policy, have a right to read.
- That right alone can destroy confidentiality
and the greater protection of the attorney-client privilege even if the right
has not been exercised.
