Conflict of Interest Disclaimer
This Conflict of Interest Disclaimer governs your interaction with the website of Lynx Legal Partners LLP (“we,” “us,” or “our”), accessible at lynxlegal.in (the “Website”), with respect to potential conflicts of interest. By accessing or using the Website, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined herein. This disclaimer is part of our broader Terms of Use and should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, Website User Policy, and other applicable policies.
1. Purpose of This Disclaimer
This Disclaimer clarifies that your use of the Website, including submitting inquiries or information, does not impose an obligation on Lynx Legal Partners LLP to decline representation of other clients or parties, even in matters that may be related or adverse to your interests. It ensures transparency and protects both you and our firm from misunderstandings regarding conflicts of interest.
2. No Obligation to Decline Representation
Submitting information, inquiries, or communications through this Website does not prevent Lynx Legal Partners LLP, its partners, or affiliates from representing other clients, including those whose interests may conflict with yours, unless a formal attorney-client relationship is established through a written engagement agreement. We are not obligated to decline or withdraw from representing other parties based solely on your use of the Website or any unsolicited information you provide.
3. Conflict Checks
We conduct conflict of interest checks only after a formal engagement is agreed upon in writing. Information submitted via the Website prior to such engagement is not considered confidential for the purpose of establishing a conflict and does not preclude us from acting for other parties in similar, related, or adverse matters.
4. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Your use of the Website or transmission of information to us does not create an attorney-client relationship. Such a relationship is formed only through a signed engagement letter or agreement explicitly defining the scope of representation. Until then, we owe no duty of loyalty or confidentiality that would restrict our ability to represent other clients.
5. Unsolicited Information
Any unsolicited information you provide via the Website (e.g., through contact forms, emails, or other means) is submitted at your own risk. We do not guarantee confidentiality for such information and may use it to assess potential conflicts only after formal engagement. To avoid unintended conflicts, we advise against sharing sensitive or privileged details before establishing a formal relationship.
6. BCI Compliance and Ethical Standards
BY USING THIS WEBSITE, YOU AGREE THAT THIS WEBSITE IS NOT A MEDIUM OF SOLICITATION, DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE, AND IS SUBJECT TO THE BAR COUNCIL OF INDIA’S GUIDELINES. THE INFORMATION PROVIDED HEREIN IS FOR GENERAL PURPOSES ONLY, AND YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LEGAL PROFESSIONAL FOR SPECIFIC ADVICE. We adhere to the Bar Council of India Rules, including those prohibiting solicitation, and ensure our practices align with professional ethics regarding conflicts of interest.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lynx Legal Partners LLP, its partners, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any claims, losses, or damages arising from:
- Your assumption that contacting us restricts our ability to represent others;
- Any actions taken by you based on the belief that a conflict exists;
- Our representation of other parties in matters adverse to your interests prior to formal engagement.
8. Third-Party Involvement
If your inquiry or matter involves third parties (e.g., opposing parties, co-clients), we may already represent or later represent such parties in unrelated or related matters, provided no formal engagement exists with you and no conflict is identified post-engagement.
9. Changes to This Disclaimer
We reserve the right to update this Conflict of Interest Disclaimer at any time without prior notice. The revised version will be posted on this page As and when required. Your continued use of the Website following such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised disclaimer.
