For GDPR purposes, we are a data controller with respect to personal data collected through this website. We do not have an establishment in the EU or UK but are reachable at the address above for all data protection inquiries.

Information You Provide

• Contact inquiries: Name, email address, phone number, company or organization name, and the content of your message when you use our contact form, our online intake assistant, or email us directly.
• Conflict check submissions: Names of parties, adverse parties, counsel, and matter descriptions submitted through our contact form or online intake assistant for conflict-of-interest review. This information may become subject to the attorney-client privilege upon engagement.
• Employment applications: Résumé, cover letter, work history, educational credentials, and references submitted in connection with job openings.

Information Collected Automatically

• Log data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and time stamps when you visit our website.
• Cookies and similar technologies: We do not set any first-party cookies for advertising, analytics, or tracking. See Section 7 (Cookies) below.
• Analytics: We use a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics service (Vercel Web Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic patterns and a small number of aggregate interaction events (such as when the intake assistant is opened or the contact form is submitted). It does not set cookies, does not track you across other websites, and does not collect information that identifies you individually.

For individuals in the EU and UK, we process personal data under the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): Responding to inquiries, operating our website, and maintaining the security of our systems. Our legitimate interest in providing legal services and communicating with prospective clients does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
• Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b)): Processing necessary to perform our engagement agreement with clients and to take steps at your request prior to entering an engagement.
• Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): Compliance with anti-money-laundering laws, professional responsibility rules, court orders, and other legal requirements applicable to law firms.
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): Where we rely on consent (e.g., for certain marketing communications), you may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected].

We use personal information to:

• Respond to inquiries and communicate about potential engagements;
• Perform conflict-of-interest checks required by professional responsibility rules;
• Provide legal services to clients under engagement agreements;
• Maintain and improve our website;
• Comply with legal and professional obligations;
• Review and process employment applications;
• Protect the security and integrity of our systems and information.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We engage vendors for website hosting, email, and technology services. These vendors process data on our behalf under contractual obligations consistent with this Policy.
• Professional obligations: We may share information as required by court order, regulatory proceeding, or applicable law, or as necessary to comply with our professional responsibility obligations.
• With your consent: We share information in other circumstances only with your express consent.

Information shared with us in connection with a legal matter may be shared with co-counsel, expert witnesses, and other litigation support providers under appropriate confidentiality protections, consistent with our professional obligations.

The Firm is based in the United States. If you are located in the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction with data transfer restrictions, please be aware that your personal information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.

For transfers from the EU and UK, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission where applicable, or other appropriate transfer mechanisms. You may request a copy of applicable transfer safeguards by contacting [email protected].

Our website does not set any cookies of its own for advertising, analytics, behavioral tracking, or cross-site tracking. Our analytics service (Vercel Web Analytics) is cookieless.

The only cookies you may receive are strictly necessary security cookies set by our content-delivery and bot-protection providers (such as Cloudflare and Cloudflare Turnstile) to operate and protect the website. These are essential, cannot be disabled, and are not used to identify you or track you across other websites. Because we use no advertising or analytics cookies, no cookie-consent banner is required. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, unless longer retention is required by law, professional rules, or a legitimate business purpose. Specifically:

• Contact and intake submissions: notified to our attorneys by email and stored in a secure third-party datastore for up to 90 days to facilitate follow-up and conflict checking. Copies retained in email may be kept longer, consistent with our records-management practices;
• Client matter information: retained in accordance with Florida Bar requirements and applicable legal hold obligations, typically no less than 6 years following matter closure;
• Employment applications: retained for up to 2 years unless the application results in employment;
• Website log data: retained for up to 12 months.

Rights Under GDPR (EU/UK Residents)

If you are in the EU or UK, you have the right to:

• Access personal data we hold about you;
• Rectification of inaccurate data;
• Erasure (“right to be forgotten”) in certain circumstances;
• Restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
• Data portability of data you provided to us in structured machine-readable format;
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• Lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.

Note that some rights may be limited by our professional obligations as a law firm (e.g., we cannot erase records we are required to retain by professional responsibility rules or court order).

Rights Under CCPA/CPRA (California Residents)

California residents have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose;
• Delete personal information we hold about you (subject to exceptions);
• Correct inaccurate personal information;
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell or share);
• Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

To submit a CCPA request, contact us at [email protected] or +1 (305) 569-7701. We will verify your identity before processing requests and respond within the timeframe required by law.

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These include encrypted data transmission (TLS), access controls, and secure document management practices consistent with those required for law firm operations. However, no security measures are impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Communication through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship. Do not send confidential or privileged information through the contact form unless and until an engagement agreement has been signed. Unsolicited information you provide to us before an engagement is established may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege and may be disclosed if required by law.

Once an attorney-client relationship is established, communications between you and the firm are protected by the attorney-client privilege and our professional confidentiality obligations. The privilege belongs to you as the client, and we will not disclose privileged communications except with your consent or as required by applicable rules.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

Our website is not directed to individuals under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect when changes were made. Continued use of our website after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy. For material changes, we will provide notice on our website.
