The content on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice, and use of this website does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Heritage Attorneys. You should not act on any information on this website without seeking specific professional legal advice tailored to your circumstances.
You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of others or restrict their use of the website.
An attorney-client relationship with Heritage Attorneys is only established when:
Submitting an enquiry through our contact form or contacting us by telephone does not, in itself, constitute an engagement or create an attorney-client relationship.
The scope of legal services provided by Heritage Attorneys will be set out in the engagement letter or retainer agreement applicable to your specific matter. We reserve the right to decline instructions at our sole discretion, including where a conflict of interest exists, or where accepting the instruction would be contrary to our professional obligations or ethical duties.
Our fees will be agreed upon and communicated to you at the time of engagement, and will be set out in the engagement letter. Fees may be structured as hourly rates, fixed fees, or such other arrangement as may be agreed. We reserve the right to require payment of a retainer or advance payment prior to commencing work. Invoices are payable within the period stipulated in the engagement letter or invoice.
We treat all client communications and matter-related information as strictly confidential in accordance with the Rules of Professional Conduct and applicable law. Our confidentiality obligations survive the termination of our engagement. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further details on how we handle personal data.
