2. No lawyer–client relationship

Accessing this website, using a website form, sending an enquiry or receiving general information from Lexcord does not by itself create a lawyer–client relationship.

Lexcord will only act for a person or organisation after:

• confirming that we are able to act;
• completing any required conflict, identity and client-acceptance checks;
• agreeing on the scope of the engagement; and
• providing or entering into the required engagement and costs documentation.

Until those steps are completed, no person should assume that Lexcord is acting for them or protecting any deadline or limitation period.

3. Do not delay because of website content

Legal matters may be subject to strict time limits.

Information on this website should not be used as a reason to delay obtaining advice, responding to correspondence, filing a document or taking another required step.

Lexcord is not responsible for monitoring a deadline merely because a person has visited the website or submitted a general enquiry.

We seek to keep the website accurate and current, but we do not guarantee that all information is complete, current or suitable for every circumstance.

Law, procedure, government policy, fees, forms and administrative practices may change.
