Legal Content & Publication Policy

This Policy sets out the reliance on information we publish.

Effective Date: 1 January 2025

The publications on this website and our social media accounts (“Internet Publications”) contain material designed to share legal insights and contribute to public legal awareness. The Internet Publications reflect our commitment to providing responsible legal content while maintaining the highest ethical standards.

As part of our commitment to responsible legal communication, we outline the following guiding principles:

1.      No Legal or Professional Advice Provided

The content available on the Internet Publications, including any documents or articles shared, is not intended to provide legal or other professional advice. The Internet Publications are for general informational purposes only and are not tailored to any specific individual, entity, situation or set of facts. Readers should not rely on any information contained in the Internet Publications as legal advice and they should seek independent professional advice from a qualified lawyer before making any legal decisions.

2.      Prior Results Do Not Guarantee Similar Outcomes

From time to time, we may publish certain written articles to share some of our past experiences in handling certain legal issues or cases that our lawyers have dealt with (with our clients’ prior consent and in strict compliance with confidentiality obligations). These publications serve solely as a knowledge-sharing initiative and should not be construed as legal advice. Every legal matter is unique, and past results should not be relied upon as an indication of future outcomes. The resolution of each case depends on its specific facts, circumstances, and applicable laws.

3.      Legal Insights and Resources

We share legal updates, insights, and educational materials in various formats, including concise, image-based text, short messages and downloadable resources such as templates and legal guides. These materials are provided for general informational purposes only and are not a substitute for legal advice. Use of these materials is at the reader’s own risk, and we strongly encourage reader to seek independent legal advice before relying on them for any legal decisions or actions.

4.      Accuracy and Reliability of Information

We strive to ensure that all Internet Publications are accurate, up to date, and based on reliable legal sources. However, laws and regulations may change over time, and certain legal principles may be interpreted differently based on specific circumstances. We do not guarantee that all Internet Publications reflects the most recent legal developments. Readers should verify information independently or consult a qualified lawyer for legal guidance.

5.      No Lawyer-Client Relationship

Accessing, reading, or interacting with the Internet Publications does not establish a lawyer-client relationship between the reader and our firm. A lawyer-client relationship is only formed through a formal engagement process. Any inquiries sent through our website or social media accounts do not constitute legal consultation or create any obligation on our part to provide legal services.
