Overview
Mercer & Beekman LLP ("the firm", "we", "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
This policy applies to information collected through this website and through your correspondence with the firm. It does not alter any obligations of confidentiality we owe to clients under applicable rules of professional conduct.

We collect information you provide directly and a limited amount of information automatically when you use the site.

- Correspondence you send to us by email, telephone, or post.

How we use information
We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, to assess and conduct engagements, and to operate and improve the site.

- To evaluate potential conflicts before undertaking any representation.
- To comply with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations.

Confidentiality
Submitting the consultation form or otherwise contacting the firm does not create an attorney–client relationship, and information you share before an engagement is confirmed may not be protected by the attorney–client privilege. Please avoid sending highly sensitive details until we have confirmed an engagement in writing.
Once an attorney–client relationship is established, your information is protected in accordance with our professional obligations of confidentiality.
Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with trusted service providers who support the operation of the firm and the site, and where required by law or to comply with legal process. Any such providers are bound to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
Cookies and analytics
The site uses cookies and similar technologies to operate reliably and to measure usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect certain features of the site.
Data retention and security
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy and to meet our legal and professional obligations. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information in our care.
Your choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to our legal and professional obligations. To make a request, or to ask any question about this policy, please contact the firm using the details on our contact page.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above. Your continued use of the site after any change indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
