Information we collect
We may collect:
- Information you submit through forms, email, encrypted channels, or phone.
- Business contact details, billing information, and correspondence.
- Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and server logs.
- Information from third parties you authorize, including referrals, counsel, or vendors.

How we use information
We use information to:
- Respond to inquiries and evaluate whether we can take on a brief.

How we share information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers who assist with hosting, communications, payments, research, or operations, subject to confidentiality expectations. Contact form submissions are processed by Formspree (formspree.io) over TLS; their privacy policy applies to data handled on that step. We may share information with affiliated entities, professional advisors, or successor organizations involved in a merger or restructuring.
We may disclose information when we believe disclosure is required by law, regulation, subpoena, or court order, or when necessary to investigate fraud, security incidents, or threats to persons or property. We may share information with your consent or at your direction.
Retention
We retain information for as long as we believe necessary to provide services, meet legal and contractual obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain business records. Retention periods vary by data type and context.
Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to our work. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information you provide.
Your choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain information, subject to legal and contractual limits. Some requests may affect our ability to perform services. Contact us through the channels on this site. We may need to verify identity before responding.
