First and foremost - I am not your attorney. Unless we have agreed that I am. But if that’s the case we prolly aren’t chatting via my website.

And now…Legalese!

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our Site, services, and any content, products, or materials available through the Site.

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site.

1. Services Overview

The Site provides information about consulting and advisory services, including but not limited to legal consulting, regulatory and compliance consulting, crisis management, and related services ("Services"). The Site also offers digital products such as e-books and downloadable resources ("Digital Products"), scheduling and booking for consultations, and access to gated content areas for clients ("Client Portal").

2. Important Disclaimer: Information, Not Legal Advice

The information provided on this Site, including blog posts, e-books, and other content, is for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed by your use of the Site or purchase of Digital Products.

The content on this Site is not a substitute for professional legal advice tailored to your specific situation. Laws and regulations vary by jurisdiction and change frequently. You should consult with a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction before making any legal decisions or taking any actions based on information found on this Site.

An attorney-client relationship is only formed through a signed engagement letter that explicitly establishes such a relationship. Purchasing Digital Products, booking consultations, or communicating with us through the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship.
