Legal Communication Disclaimer

Effective Date: 1 June 2025

This disclaimer applies to all communications issued by Edwin Lee & Partners, including but not limited to information shared via our website, email correspondences, and WhatsApp or other messaging platforms.

1. Scope of Legal Advice

Edwin Lee & Partners provides legal advice and services strictly within the scope of engagement as mutually agreed in writing between our firm and our client. Any information shared via our website, email, WhatsApp, messaging platforms or other informal channels is for general reference only and does not constitute legal advice unless it falls within the terms of an active and formal engagement.

2. Confidentiality and Privilege

All communications from Edwin Lee & Partners, including via email, WhatsApp, or other messaging platforms, are intended solely for the named recipient and may contain confidential and legally privileged information. While we take reasonable measures to maintain confidentiality, the nature of electronic communication means security cannot be fully guaranteed. If you are not the intended recipient, please notify us immediately, refrain from reading further, and permanently delete the message or email. Any unauthorised use, copying, disclosure, or distribution is strictly prohibited and may be unlawful.

3. No Liability

Edwin Lee & Partners provides legal services with professional care and diligence within the scope of formal engagement as agreed with each client. Where information is shared outside the scope of engagement, such as through website content, email, or messaging platforms, it is provided for general awareness. Such information should not be relied upon as legal advice unless expressly agree upon. We are not liable for any actions taken based on such informal communications unless expressly confirmed as part of an ongoing engagement.

4. Electronic Risks

Edwin Lee & Partners takes reasonable precautions to ensure that our electronic communications, including emails and attachments, are free from viruses, malware, or other harmful elements. However, we do not guarantee that such communications will be secure or error-free. Recipients are advised to implement their own safeguards and use appropriate security measures before accessing any electronic communication. We disclaim all liability for any loss or damage arising from viruses, cyber threats, or the alteration of messages caused by technical issues or unauthorised interference.

5. Impersonation & Payment Fraud Alerts

If you have received a suspicious or impersonated message claiming to be from our firm or any of our lawyers, particularly via email, WhatsApp, or social media, please contact us immediately via our official phone number or email address to verify authenticity and allow us to take appropriate corrective action. Clients are reminded to verify payment instructions, bank details, or unusual requests by contacting us directly through official channels. Edwin Lee & Partners will not be liable for losses resulting from fraud or misrepresentation by unauthorised third parties.

6. Amendments to This Disclaimer

Edwin Lee & Partners reserves the right to amend, update, or revise this disclaimer at any time and the most current version will be available on our official website or upon request. Continued use of our services, communications, or website following any changes constitutes your acknowledgment and acceptance of the updated disclaimer.
