It does not apply to information the firm collects offline or in the course of providing legal services, and it does not replace engagement letters, client agreements, professional obligations of confidentiality, or other notices that may apply to clients, job applicants, employees, or other specific relationships. By using the Website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

• Information you provide directly, such as your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, organization, job title, and communication preferences, when you contact us, subscribe to firm news and publications, register for an event, or apply for employment through the Website, and the content of messages or forms you submit.
• Information collected automatically as you navigate the Website through our analytics provider and web server logs, such as browser type, operating system, device type, referring source, pages visited, visit duration, and approximate geographic location derived from your IP address.
• Information from other sources, such as public sources, professional directories, event partners, and social or professional networks, where permitted by law.

Please do not submit sensitive, confidential, privileged, or time-sensitive information through the Website unless the firm has agreed in writing to represent you and has directed you to use a particular method of communication.

1. Analytics and Cookies

The Website uses Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service, to understand how visitors use the site, estimate audience size and usage patterns, and improve the Website. Plausible does not use cookies, does not store your IP address or any other persistent identifier, and does not track you across other websites; the usage data it collects is aggregated and statistical in nature and is not used by us to personally identify you. The Website does not use advertising, remarketing, or cross-site tracking cookies. Any cookies used are limited to those necessary for the Website to function, and you can set your browser to refuse cookies, although some features may not function properly if you do.

1. How We Use Your Information

We use information collected through the Website to:

• Present the Website and its contents to you and operate, improve, and secure the Website.
• Respond to your inquiries and provide information, publications, legal updates, event invitations, or services that you request, and manage subscriptions.
• Administer events and evaluate employment applications.
• Detect and prevent fraud or misuse, and comply with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations.
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights, and fulfill any other purpose disclosed when the information is collected or with your consent.

1. How We Disclose Your Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing or targeted-advertising purposes. We may disclose information collected through the Website:

• To service providers that support the Website and our operations (such as hosting, analytics (Plausible), email distribution, event, security, and administrative providers), who are bound to use it only on our behalf.
• To courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, or where otherwise required or permitted by law.
• To professional advisors, and to enforce our policies and other agreements or to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of the firm, our clients, or others.
• In connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of all or part of the firm's assets.
• With your consent or at your direction.

1. Marketing Communications

You may unsubscribe from firm mailings at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us as described below. We may still send non-marketing communications, such as administrative or client-service messages.

1. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of personal information we hold about you; to object to or restrict certain processing; to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and to appeal a decision regarding your request. To submit a privacy request, contact us as described below. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will respond as required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights provided by applicable law.

1. Data Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information collected through the Website against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no website, email, or electronic transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to the Website. Please do not send confidential, privileged, sensitive, or time-sensitive information through general Website forms or email unless directed by the firm; see our Terms of Use and Disclaimer regarding communications with the firm before an attorney-client relationship is established.

1. Data Retention

We retain information collected through the Website for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to maintain business records, comply with legal and professional obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. This Privacy Policy is separate from the firm's document retention policy for client records and other firm records.

1. Children

The Website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided us personal information through the Website, please contact us so we can delete it.

1. Do Not Track

The Website does not track users over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals.

1. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may link to third-party websites, platforms, payment tools, social media sites, embedded content, or other services. Those sites operate independently of the firm and have their own privacy policies and terms, which we encourage you to review. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party privacy, security, or content practices.

1. Users Outside the United States

The firm is based in the United States, and the Website is operated from and intended for users located in the United States. If you access the Website from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

1. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on the Website with an updated effective date, and your continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
