Your use of the Website is subject to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. By accessing, browsing or using the Website, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Website on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to accept these Terms on its behalf. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website.

The content of this Website is provided for general information only. It is not legal advice, and it must not be relied upon as such. The law changes, and its application depends on the particular facts of each matter. Nothing on this Website is a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney addressing your specific circumstances. You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of any content on this Website without first obtaining professional legal advice. Any illustrative timeframes, procedures or outcomes described on the Website are general in nature and are not a promise or guarantee of any particular result.

Using this Website, submitting an enquiry through it, or otherwise contacting the Firm through the Website does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm. An attorney-client relationship arises only after we have confirmed that we are able to act for you — including completing any necessary conflict-of-interest check — and you and the Firm have entered into a written retainer or engagement. Until that has happened, please do not send us confidential or time-sensitive information, and do not assume that we are acting for you or that any limitation period is being protected.

Because no attorney-client relationship exists before an engagement is in place, information you submit through the Website before that time may not be treated as privileged or confidential in the way that communications within an existing retainer are. Internet transmissions are also not guaranteed to be secure. For both reasons, we ask that your initial enquiry be limited to the general nature of your matter and your contact details, and that you reserve the substance of any sensitive information for a consultation with an attorney.

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

• Use the Website in any way that breaches any applicable law or regulation;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its server, or any connected system or network;
• Introduce any virus, malware or other harmful material, or otherwise interfere with the proper operation of the Website;
• Use any automated system to access, scrape or copy content from the Website except as permitted by ordinary search-engine indexing;
• Use the Website or its contents for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent.

All content on the Website — including text, graphics, logos, the Firm’s name and marks, page design and layout — is owned by or licensed to the Firm and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may view and print content from the Website for your own personal, non-commercial reference. You may not otherwise copy, reproduce, republish, distribute or exploit any part of the Website without our prior written permission. Nothing on the Website should be construed as granting any licence or right to use any mark displayed on it without our written consent.

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, or content provided by third parties, for your convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site or service, and the inclusion of any link does not imply our endorsement of it. Your use of any third-party website or service is at your own risk and subject to that third party’s own terms and policies.

The Website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. While we take reasonable care to keep the Website accurate and up to date, we do not warrant that its content is complete, current or error-free, or that the Website will be available uninterrupted or free of viruses or other harmful components. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties in respect of the Website and its content.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Firm and its partners, attorneys and staff will not be liable for any loss or damage — whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise — arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Website or any content on it, or your reliance on any such content. This limitation applies to loss of data, loss of profit, and business interruption, however caused. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Firm and its partners, attorneys and staff from and against any claims, liabilities, losses and reasonable expenses arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Website.

These Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or your use of the Website, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Trinidad and Tobago in respect of any such dispute or claim. The Website is directed to and intended for users in Trinidad and Tobago; we make no representation that its content is appropriate or available for use in other jurisdictions.

We may revise these Terms of Use from time to time. Any changes take effect when we post the revised Terms on this page and update the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Website after a change indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us:
