Some or all content of the Website may constitute Attorney Advertising.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

 2. No Legal Advice

The information provided on the Website is offered as a courtesy. Website content is intended to provide general information and does not apply to any particular facts or circumstances. It does not constitute legal advice and website visitors may not rely on the contents for that purpose. If you need individual legal services, you should seek advice as you deem appropriate from professionals who are knowledgeable in that subject and admitted to practice in the jurisdiction in which your issues arose.

3. No Attorney-Client Relationship

No attorney-client relationship exists or may be created by your access or use of this Website or your communication with Rivkin Radler through a Website link. If you wish to retain Rivkin Radler, we would be happy to discuss your specific legal needs with you to determine whether we can be of assistance. Rivkin Radler will also explore whether it has any conflict of interest or other issues in providing legal representation to you. Rivkin Radler may decline to represent any person or entity due to a conflict of interest or, in its sole discretion, for any other reason.

There is no attorney-client relationship between us unless and until you and Rivkin Radler enter into a written retainer agreement describing the scope of the proposed representation, the fee arrangements and other important terms. If you and Rivkin Radler decide that Rivkin Radler should represent you in a specific matter, a written retainer agreement, signed by both you and Rivkin Radler is an absolute prerequisite for the creation of an attorney-client relationship.
