1. Disclaimers
All information on our Website is of a general nature and is furnished for your knowledge and understanding and as an informational resource only to permit you to learn more about our firm, our services and the experience of our attorneys. The information presented is not legal advice, is not to be acted on as such, may not be current and is subject to change without notice.
Since the law is constantly changing and will vary based on different facts and circumstances, statements on this Website regarding the status of a given law or legal issue may not be current or applicable to your particular situation. Pillar Legal assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or timeliness of any information provided on this Website. You should not take any action based on the information on this Website without seeking professional counsel.
Articles presented on the “News” page of this Website are summaries for general information and discussion only and may be considered advertisements for certain purposes. They are not full analyses of the matters presented, may not be relied upon as legal advice, and do not purport to represent the views of our clients or of Pillar Legal. Except as otherwise noted, the views expressed in these Articles are the views of the authors only.
The representative matters and other experience included on attorney biography pages on this Website may date from periods before an individual lawyer joined Pillar Legal, may not contain full or complete client or entity name references, and may contain colloquial rather than client or entity-specific name references. Any representative matters or other experience listed on attorney biography pages of our Website should not imply current or former client status. You should not rely on any information contained on our Website, in particular any reference to representative matters and other experience, in making any decision, taking any action or refraining from taking any action.
This Website contains attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
2. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Communication of information by, in, to or through this Website and your receipt or use of such information (i) is not provided in the course of and does not create or constitute an attorney-client relationship, (ii) is not intended as a solicitation, (iii) is not intended to convey or constitute legal advice, and (iv) is not a substitute for obtaining legal advice from a qualified attorney. You should not act upon any such information without first seeking qualified professional counsel on your specific matter. The hiring of an attorney is an important decision that should not be based solely upon Website communications or advertisements.
You also should not rely upon your transmission of an unsolicited e-mail message to an attorney through this Website to create an attorney-client relationship. The transmission or exchange of information will not do so. Without an attorney-client relationship in the matter, we cannot assure you that your communications will be privileged or (unless we otherwise agree in a specific case) that we will treat them as such. Pillar Legal assumes no responsibility for the confidentiality or return of such information. Please do not send us any confidential or sensitive information until you speak with one of our attorneys and obtain prior written authorization to send that information to us.
An attorney-client relationship may be formed with Pillar Legal only upon execution of an engagement letter, after we have confirmed that no conflict of interest exists.
