Legal Disclosures

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT use the supplied e-mail interface to send any privileged or confidential information. Internet messages can be intercepted. Further, we cannot agree to maintain the confidentiality of information that we receive outside of an attorney-client relationship.

No communication between you and Tharrington Smith LLP (“the Firm”) via this Web site should be interpreted as establishing an attorney-client relationship. The Firm must observe certain formalities before agreeing to represent anyone in a particular matter.

No attorney-client relationship will be formed by sending an e-mail and you should not transmit confidential information through any contact form on this site. If you are contacting us about potential representation, please limit the initial message to your name, the names of the other persons or entities involved, and a brief description of the type of case or matter. By clicking ‘accept’ on our email form, you further agree that our review of any information you transmit to us will not preclude our firm from representing a party directly adverse to you and from using this information, even if the information is confidential.

Our duties to our existing and former clients require us, before assuming any new matters, to determine whether or not we may represent or advise you in light of any actual or potential conflicts with our existing or former clients or duties that the firm may owe. Until those prerequisites are completed, you should not consider any communications with us by letter, facsimile transmission, telephone, Internet, e-mail or otherwise as privileged or confidential, or protected by attorney-client confidentiality.
