The Firm may collect personal information directly from you, through your interactions with the Firm or its website, from third parties involved in delivering services, or from publicly available sources, as permitted by applicable law.

The Firm recognizes that certain information provided in connection with a legal engagement may be protected by the attorney-client privilege or the Firm's duty of confidentiality. Such information is handled in accordance with the Firm's professional responsibility obligations under applicable rules of professional conduct, including the New York Rules of Professional Conduct.

2.  Lawful Basis for Processing and Use of Personal Information

Where applicable under data protection laws, the Firm processes personal information on one or more of the following lawful bases:

  • Performance of a contract or engagement, or steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract or engagement;

  • Compliance with applicable legal, regulatory, or professional responsibility obligations, including bar rules, AML and KYC requirements, court orders, and lawful governmental requests;

  • Legitimate business interests of the Firm, including: preventing fraud, managing and administering the Firm's operations, maintaining client and business records, communicating with existing contacts regarding legal services, managing conflicts of interest, and maintaining the security and integrity of the Firm's systems and information — provided such interests are not overridden by your rights and fundamental interests; and

  • Consent, where required by applicable law. 

The Firm processes personal information as reasonably necessary to: provide, manage, and administer legal services; manage client, vendor, and business relationships; respond to inquiries and communications; conduct billing, accounting, and compliance activities; satisfy legal, regulatory, and professional obligations; maintain the security and integrity of its systems and records; manage and resolve legal proceedings and disputes; and pursue the legitimate business interests described above.

  • With attorneys, legal professionals, staff, contractors, and third-party service providers acting under appropriate confidentiality, professional responsibility, or data protection obligations, and only to the extent necessary to perform the services;

FL Global Law does not sell personal information and does not knowingly disclose personal information for purposes that would constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under applicable privacy laws, including the CCPA.

4.  Data Transfers

The Firm operates internationally and may transfer or otherwise process personal information across borders, including in jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction. Where required by applicable law, such transfers are subject to appropriate contractual, organizational, and technical safeguards, including measures consistent with applicable data protection requirements. Where required for the performance of legal services, such transfers may be made in reliance on applicable legal basis including contractual necessity, compliance with legal obligations, or other recognized transfer mechanisms. The Firm does not represent that any particular jurisdiction has been deemed "adequate" by any regulatory authority.

5.  Data Retention

The Firm retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Statement, to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and professional responsibility obligations, and to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights and claims.

Client matter files are generally retained for a period of seven (7) years following the conclusion of the relevant engagement, subject to applicable professional responsibility requirements and any applicable legal holds or extended retention periods required by law or regulation. With respect to AML and KYC compliance records, the Firm retains such records for a minimum of five (5) years following the end of the relevant business relationship, or such longer period as required by applicable law.

Retention periods may be extended where required by applicable law, regulatory requirements, or legal hold obligations. Where appropriate and practicable, information may be retained in anonymized or aggregated form following the expiration of applicable retention periods.

The exercise of these rights is subject to limitations and exemptions under applicable law, including requirements to verify your identity, legal professional privilege and attorney-client confidentiality, applicable regulatory retention requirements, and the Firm's obligations under applicable bar rules, AML, KYC, and sanctions laws. The Firm will respond to verifiable rights requests within the timeframe required by applicable law, which is generally thirty (30) to forty-five (45) days from receipt of a verifiable request, subject to any extensions permitted under applicable law.

While the Firm maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards consistent with its professional responsibility obligations, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be fully secure.

Any information transmitted to the Firm prior to the formal establishment of an attorney-client relationship through an executed Engagement Document is transmitted on a non-confidential basis and at the sender's sole risk. Once an attorney-client relationship has been formally established, the Firm's duty of confidentiality and information security obligations under applicable professional responsibility rules and these Terms apply to Client information received thereafter.
