Attorney-Client Relationship

If you communicate with IP & Business Law Counseling, LLC, whether through telephone, e-mail, the “Contact Us” feature, or other means, your communication and this firm’s response is not confidential and does not establish an attorney-client relationship between you, IP & Business Law Counseling, LLC, or George W. Cox, Ph.D., Esquire. An attorney-client relationship cannot be formed over the telephone, by e-mail, or other electronic medium.

Confidentiality/Privacy

IP & Business Law Counseling, LLC guards the confidentiality of its clients’ matters and will not divulge information relating to client matters without prior consent or other established exceptions. Any information sent by any means (including the “Contact Us” feature) to IP & Business Law Counseling, LLC by persons or entities who are not existing clients is not privileged or confidential, will not be treated as such, may not be returned to you, and may be destroyed. While IP & Business Law Counseling, LLC is committed to the security of information clients provide, the security of the Internet, in general, and e-mail, in particular, is uncertain at best. Clients should not transmit unencrypted sensitive or confidential material over the Internet.
