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.
