Website Inquiries, Attorney-Client Relationship, and Privilege
Communications submitted through this website, including contact forms, email inquiries, or other online submissions, do not automatically create an attorney-client relationship.
Until UIPC has completed a conflict review and entered into a written engagement agreement, you should not assume that information submitted through the website is protected by the attorney-client privilege.
Once an attorney-client relationship has been established, communications and information provided in connection with legal representation may be protected by the attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine, and applicable rules of professional conduct. Such protections arise from applicable law and ethical obligations, not solely from the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Please avoid submitting highly confidential or sensitive information through the website before an attorney-client relationship has been established.

We may use collected information for legitimate business and legal purposes, including:
- Responding to inquiries and requests
- Evaluating potential client engagements

Sharing of Information
UIPC does not sell personal information to third parties.
We may disclose information in limited circumstances, including:
- To service providers who assist with website hosting, communications, billing, payment processing, cloud storage, cybersecurity, and business operations
- To courts, government agencies, or regulatory authorities when required by law
- To protect our legal rights, property, clients, or users
- In connection with a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or reorganization, subject to applicable legal obligations
Any sharing of client information remains subject to applicable ethical, legal, and professional confidentiality obligations.

No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
