JS Law does not use client matter information, prospective client information, or recruitment information for unrelated marketing purposes.
Although JS Law does not share information for marketing purposes, we may disclose personal information in limited circumstances where necessary, appropriate, authorized, or legally required.
These circumstances may include disclosure to:
Courts, tribunals, arbitrators, mediators, government agencies, or regulators;
Opposing parties, opposing counsel, co-counsel, local counsel, experts, consultants, investigators, translators, process servers, court reporters, or e-discovery vendors when needed for a legal matter;

Other parties with your consent or at your direction.
Where JS Law uses service providers, we expect them to use personal information only to provide services to JS Law and not for their own marketing purposes.
Information provided to JS Law in connection with a legal matter may be protected by attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product doctrine, professional confidentiality rules, court orders, protective orders, engagement letters, or other legal protections.
This Privacy Policy does not reduce or waive those protections.
However, contacting JS Law through a website form, email, phone call, or other communication does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when JS Law agrees in writing to represent you.
You should not send confidential or sensitive information to JS Law until JS Law has confirmed that it is able to represent you and has agreed to do so.
JS Law uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
These safeguards may include access controls, password protections, secure storage, encryption where appropriate, confidentiality obligations, staff training, and vendor review practices.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. JS Law cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take privacy and confidentiality seriously and work to protect the information entrusted to us.
JS Law retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:
Providing legal services;
Maintaining client files and firm records;
Conducting conflict checks;
Complying with legal, ethical, regulatory, accounting, and professional obligations;
Resolving disputes;
Enforcing agreements;
Maintaining recruitment and employment records.
Client matter records may be retained according to JS Law’s file retention policies, engagement letters, professional obligations, court rules, and applicable law.
Recruitment records may be retained for a reasonable period for hiring, compliance, recordkeeping, and future opportunity purposes, unless a longer or shorter period is required by law or requested where applicable.

This may include:
Reviewing your qualifications;
Communicating with you about the position;
Scheduling and conducting interviews;
