ILC's Statement of Confidentiality

  • Confidentiality is of paramount importance in Legal Practice.
  • Confidentiality is maintained throughout a representation and thereafter.
  • No confidential information is ever disclosed beyond the representation except when authorized in writing by a client.
  • The identities of clients and initial inquiries find their way to no list whatsoever.
  • The ILC’s reputation and my license to practice law depend on this commitment.
  • This confidentiality statement and its commitment extend to all matters handled by the ILC.
  • For your protection and mine, confidential information must not be submitted with an initial inquiry.
  • Any material that appears to be confidential and is received with an initial inquiry must and will be returned to the submitter or destroyed, depending on the circumstances and practicalities.
  • If your initial inquiry cannot be expressed without revealing confidential information, a private consultation is probably required.
  • Confidential information should not be submitted by email on a third-party access computer.
