Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

I am committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy outlines how I collect, use and protect your information.

2. Information that may be collected

If you use the Contact form on this site, the following information may be collected:

  • Your name

  • Your contact details including your phone number and email address

  • Your message content

I also use Google Analytics to collect data about website usage. This data is anonymized and used to improve the website’s performance and user experience.

3. How your information may be used

Submitting a message via the Contact form on this site is equivalent to sending an unsolicited email to my K&L Gates email account. The information you submit through the form is transmitted directly to my K&L Gates email account and is not stored elsewhere.

Any messages submitted via the Contact form and received at my K&L Gates e-mail account will be handled in accordance with the K&L Gates privacy policy.

The information you submit will be used to respond to your message. It will not be used for marketing or promotional purposes.

Any requests for legal services or advice made through the Contact page will be addressed by K&L Gates LLP subject to an engagement and satisfaction of all client onboarding requirements. Those requirements will include:

  • necessary checks (for client conflicts, anti-money laundering or other purposes)

  • your entry into an engagement agreement with the firm

  • your acceptance of K&L Gates terms and conditions

I do not provide any legal services or advice in my personal capacity.

I may share your information with partners or employees at K&L Gates to determine if advice or services can be provided to you.

4. Data security

I take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is completely secure and I cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to this site or via the Contact form.

5. Third-party services and third-party links

I use Google Analytics to help understand how this website is used. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address, browser type and pages visited. This information is used for analysis on website traffic and to improve the site. For more information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, please visit Google’s Privacy Policy.

This website contains links to third-party websites. I do not guarantee the privacy practices of those external sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies if you have any queries or concerns.

6. Cookies

My website hosting provider may use cookies and collect some data to help the site run smoothly. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help improve your browsing experience.
