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.
