Ensuring Privacy and Confidentiality
Within our firm and in dealings with our clients, partnering lawyers, hired experts, and others, we take extra measures to protect the privacy of our clients and their personal, financial, and other sensitive information. We understand the necessity of these crucial precautions and only deal with those we trust to maintain the same levels of discretion. Some of the actions we take to ensure privacy and confidentiality include:
- Careful Communications: We ensure secure and private communication channels between our team members, attorneys, clients, and any other individuals critical to the case. This includes encrypted emails, secure document exchange platforms, and the avoidance of case discussions or conversations in compromising settings.
- Confidentiality Agreements: Information about a case, the parties involved, and any other related information can be kept private by requiring that all staff, hired experts, and other parties involved sign confidentiality agreements.
- Financial Discretion: When possible and necessary, we use pseudonyms and redact sensitive information when working with financial advisors, accountants and others handling financial disclosures or negotiations.
- Specialized Experts: We have developed relationships with trustworthy, skilled experts who specialize in high-profile and high-net-worth cases, such as appraisers, forensic accountants, and other consultants. These individuals conduct their analyses privately and are known for maintaining confidentiality.
- Public Relations Management: If necessary, in high-profile cases, we may work with public relations consultants to ensure the proper management of a client's case narrative in the media. This also minimizes any bias in the Court due to public media.
