Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If this website obtains actual knowledge that it has obtained personal information about a child under the age of 13, that information will be immediately and permanently deleted from our records.

How We Collect Personal Information

We may collect personal information about you in a number of ways, including:

• When you voluntarily choose to disclose such information to us. For example, you may disclose personal information to us when you submit information by mail, telephone, fax, or electronically, or when you sign up for newsletters, and other marking communications.

• During the course of dealings with you for, or on behalf of, a client

• When you apply for a position with us.

• When you contact us for these or any other reason, we may monitor and keep a record of that correspondence (in whatever form)

• When we collect publicly available information about you or your business (including through electronic data sources)

• When we collect your personal data from third parties (for example our clients or other law firms)

• When you offer or provide services to us

• Through the use of cookies and other technologies to collect certain information when you visit this website.

 

​

How We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal information for a legal and legitimate interest, such as legal services. Most commonly we will process your personal information when it is necessary:

• For the performance of a contract to which you are party

• For compliance with our legal obligations

• For the purposes of pursuing our legitimate interests (this includes carrying out the business of providing legal services and pursuing our general business interests)

• For the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims

In addition, we may process your personal information when you have provided your consent for us to do so, for example, to provide you with information about our services, and to advise you of news and industry updates, events, reports and other information.

 

​

Sharing and Transferring Your Data

We will not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share your information with any third parties who provide services on our behalf. We may also disclose your personal information to our employees, agents, consultants and sub-contractors who assist us in running our business, including this website, or provide related services, and who are subject to security and confidentiality obligations. We will also disclose your personal information as required by a court order or any other legal or regulatory requirement, including in response to requests from public and government authorities outside your country of residence or to protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, or that of you or others anywhere in the world.

 

We may transfer information about you between countries if required for a relevant purpose as described above. These may include countries which do not provide the same level of protection as the laws of your home country. However, we will at all times ensure a level of protection for your data at least as protective as that required in the United States, as applicable. We will also require our agents, consultants and sub-contractors and others who are outside the United States and to whom we transfer information about you to ensure a similar level of data protection.

​

​

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online and on our systems.

​

In certain jurisdictions, in accordance with applicable privacy laws, you may be entitled to one or more of the following rights:

• The right to restrict our processing of that information

• The right to have personal information relating to you transferred to another organization

• The right to lodge a complaint about us with a local supervisory authority

Please note that even if you have chosen to withdraw your consent and have the right under applicable law to do so, we may be able to continue thereafter to process your personal information to the extent required or otherwise permitted by law, in particular in connection with exercising and defending our legal rights or meeting our legal and regulatory obligations.
