Disclaimer & Privacy Policy
Disclaimer
The Dechert web site provides general information about the firm. Although this information may be considered advertising under the rules of some courts, including the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, Dechert's site is not intended to advertise our legal services, to solicit clients, or to provide legal advice. Prior results do not guarantee similar outcomes.
Dechert is not authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") and offices of Dechert which are not regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority will not be able to provide any service which constitutes a regulated activity under the FSMA. Dechert London is able in certain circumstances to offer a limited range of investment services to clients because it is a member of the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. It can provide these investment services if they are an incidental part of the professional services it has been engaged to provide.
The information on our site does not constitute or contain legal advice. Our legal updates, lawyer publications, and other information have been abridged from laws, court decisions, and administrative rulings. They should not be considered as legal opinions or as a substitute for legal counsel.
As a service to visitors, Dechert houses archived information in some areas of the site, which may be of value for historical or research purposes. In general, we cannot guarantee that all information on the site will be applicable to your situation or that it is accurate or complete. Our web site may not always be operational or free of functional defects. We disclaim any liability in connection with any actions taken or not taken based on any of our web site's content.
Neither our presentation of the information on the site nor your receipt of the information creates a lawyer-client relationship or imposes any obligation on Dechert.
Any electronic communication sent to Dechert may not be secure and thus may be disclosed. Accordingly, we request that you do not send sensitive or confidential information electronically. In addition, the sending of electronic mail to any lawyer or other contact/address identified in the site does not create a lawyer-client relationship, and the contents of any such mail are not privileged, unless the sender is a current client of Dechert and the communication is sent pursuant to that relationship.
Photographs that accompany lawyer biographies in the "Lawyers" section of the site are those of Dechert lawyers. No other photographs or images of persons located on the site depict Dechert lawyers or staff and are not to be construed as depicting such. All non-Dechert persons featured on web site photographs and images are models and are used for illustrative purposes only.
You may download, print, and copy material on this web site for your personal use as long as you do not alter any of the materials and that you ensure that each copy clearly acknowledges Dechert as the source.
Dechert recognizes the importance of your privacy. This online privacy policy is meant to inform users of our web site about the information we collect online and how that information will be used. If you have additional questions about Dechert's data collection practices after reading this notice, please contact us at privacy@dechert.com.
Dechert's web site collects personally identifiable information like names and addresses only from visitors who voluntarily input such information in response to prompts we have placed at various points on our web site. Dechert also will collect e-mail addresses from the e-mails you send us. Dechert's computers automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit our site, like the type of browser you are using or the domain name of your Internet service provider. They also collect aggregate information on the site pages our users visit.
Dechert will use the personally identifiable information we collect online only to send you information about firm events or publications. We do, however, provide you the opportunity to decline placement on our mailing lists. The data we hold is kept securely and only accessed by authorized personnel.
Computer data containing no personally identifiable information will be used only for internal business purposes and then discarded.
To the extent permitted by law, Dechert will not sell, share, or otherwise disclose any of the information it collects online without your permission. Exceptions are disclosures to third parties who monitor the web site and to parties who assist or cooperate in preparing firm mailings.
The data gathered also will be shared appropriately with all of our offices in the United States and Europe.
Dechert does not use cookies, except to track our employees' web site maintenance activities.
Dechert may revise this policy or any part of it at any time, as its institutional needs or changes in technology require. We suggest you review the policy periodically for changes.
If you no longer wish us to hold data about you, or wish to change the type of information we send you, please let us know by e-mailing privacy@dechert.com.
