We collect only the personal data that is reasonably necessary for the purpose of responding to enquiries and providing legal advisory services. The categories of data we may collect are:

Retention: Contact enquiry data is retained for up to 24 months from the date of last correspondence. Website usage data (analytics) is retained for up to 12 months. Data held in connection with an active advisory engagement is retained in accordance with our professional obligations, generally for six years following conclusion of the matter.

We use personal data for the following purposes:

We do not use personal data for automated decision-making. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.

Third-party sharing: We may share data with trusted professional service providers (such as our IT infrastructure provider or, where a matter requires it, senior counsel or expert witnesses) under appropriate confidentiality and data processing arrangements. Where we instruct third parties in connection with your matter, we will discuss this with you.

Analytics: We use analytics tools to understand aggregated, anonymised patterns of website usage. Individual visitor data is not used for profiling or behavioural targeting.
