Terms of Use

No legal advice

All content on this Site is intended to provide general information in summary form on legal and other topics current at the time of publication. It does not constitute legal or other professional advice, is not tailored to your individual circumstances, and should not be relied upon as such. You should seek specific advice from us or another suitably qualified adviser before acting or relying on anything contained on this Site.

Some content on this Site may constitute legal advertising under applicable professional conduct rules. It has been prepared for general informational purposes only and does not reflect the legal position on any particular matter or set of facts.

No client relationship

Your use of this Site, including submitting an enquiry form, sending us an email, or otherwise contacting us through the Site, does not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and ALA. A solicitor-client relationship is only formed once we have carried out the necessary conflict checks and you have received and accepted a specific engagement letter or costs agreement from us setting out the scope of our retainer.

Until that point, you should not send us confidential or sensitive information through the Site, and any information you do send us before an engagement is confirmed will not be treated as privileged or confidential, and may not prevent us from acting for another party in a related matter.

Enquiries and consultations

We may, from time to time, offer initial consultations or respond to general enquiries submitted through the Site. Any information, view or comment we provide in the course of such a consultation or enquiry is general in nature, does not constitute legal advice, and should not be relied upon as such. We will only provide legal advice to you once you have accepted a specific engagement letter or costs agreement, and only within the scope set out in that agreement.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise indicated, all content on this Site — including text, graphics, logos, the ALA name and marks, and underlying software — is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws. You may view, download and print content from the Site for your own personal, non-commercial reference only. You must not reproduce, modify, distribute, republish or otherwise use any content from the Site for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no warranties or representations about the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or currency of this Site or its content, and we exclude all liability for any loss or damage, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, this Site or our Online Content.

Nothing in these Terms of Use is intended to limit any right or remedy you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
