Last updated · January 2025

Attorney advertising

This website is attorney advertising. It is provided by Mercer & Beekman LLP for general informational purposes and to describe the firm and its practice. Prior results described on this site do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter.

No legal advice

Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice, and it should not be relied upon as such. The content is general in nature and may not reflect current legal developments or apply to your particular circumstances. You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of any information on this site without seeking advice from qualified counsel licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.

No attorney–client relationship

Your use of this website, and any communication you send through it — including the consultation form — does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and the firm. That relationship is formed only when the firm has agreed to represent you and that agreement is confirmed in a signed engagement letter.

Because no relationship exists until an engagement is confirmed, please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through this site expecting it to be treated as privileged.

Intellectual property

The content, design, and marks on this site are owned by or licensed to Mercer & Beekman LLP and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view and print pages for your personal, non-commercial use, but you may not otherwise reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without the firm's prior written consent.

Third-party links

This site may contain links to third-party websites provided for convenience. The firm does not control and is not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any linked site, and the inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the firm disclaims all liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site or its content.

Governing law

A conversation, in complete confidence.
