Legal
Terms & Conditions
The ground rules for using this website — in the plainest language we can manage.
The short version. This website is general information, not legal advice. Reading it or contacting us does not make us your lawyers — that only happens when we both sign an engagement letter. Please don't send us confidential information until we do.
01Who we are
This website is published by Cantatore Law PLLC, a professional limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New York, with offices at 641 Lexington Avenue, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10022 ("Cantatore Law", "we", "us" or "our").
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.
02Attorney advertising
This website may constitute attorney advertising under the rules of the New York courts and the New York Rules of Professional Conduct. It is provided for general informational purposes and to describe the services we offer.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Any description of past matters, results, or client experiences is not a promise or prediction about your matter. Every situation depends on its own facts.
03No legal advice
Nothing on this website is legal advice, and nothing here should be relied on as a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney about your specific circumstances. Laws change, and the way they apply varies enormously from one business to the next.
Content on this site may become out of date, and we are under no obligation to update it. You should not act, or decline to act, on the basis of anything you read here without first seeking professional advice.
04No attorney–client relationship
Using this website, reading its contents, or contacting us through it does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and Cantatore Law.
An attorney–client relationship with us is formed only when all of the following have happened: we have checked for conflicts of interest, we have expressly agreed to represent you, and you and we have signed a written engagement letter setting out the scope of the work and the fees.
05Please don't send confidential information
Information you send us before an attorney–client relationship exists may not be treated as privileged or confidential, and could limit our ability to represent another client with an interest adverse to yours.
Please limit any first contact — whether by our contact form, by email, or by telephone — to your name, your contact details, and a brief, general description of the subject you want to discuss. Wait until we have confirmed an engagement in writing before sending anything sensitive.
Please also be aware that email and internet communications are not inherently secure. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any message sent to us over the internet.
06Where we are admitted
Our attorneys are admitted to practise in the State of New York. Nothing on this website is an offer to represent you, or a solicitation to provide legal services, in any jurisdiction where doing so would be prohibited by that jurisdiction's rules, or where we are not authorized to practise.
07Fees and engagements
Where this website refers to fixed fees, flat fees, or fees quoted in advance, those references describe our general approach to pricing. They are not a quotation, an offer, or a binding commitment.
The fee for any particular matter is set only in a signed engagement letter, after we understand the scope of the work involved.
08Your use of the site
You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes. In particular, you agree not to:
- use the site in any way that breaches any applicable law or regulation;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, the server on which it is hosted, or any connected system;
- introduce any virus, malware, or other harmful material;
- use any automated system to scrape, harvest, or systematically extract content, except for standard search-engine indexing;
- use the site or its contents to develop, train, or fine-tune any machine-learning or artificial-intelligence system without our prior written permission;
- misuse any contact details published here to send unsolicited commercial messages.
09Intellectual property
All content on this website is owned by or licensed to Cantatore Law and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Please see our Copyright Notice for details of what you may and may not do with it.
10Links to other sites
This website may contain links to websites operated by others, including our compliance division, Safe Harbor Compliance Services. Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience only. Except where we operate the linked site ourselves, we do not control, endorse, or accept responsibility for their content, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.
11Availability and disclaimers
We aim to keep this website available and accurate, but we provide it "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that it will be free of viruses or other harmful components.
12Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cantatore Law and its members, attorneys, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, business, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of — or inability to use — this website, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability for fraud, or any liability arising under the New York Rules of Professional Conduct.
13Privacy
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
14Changes to these terms
We may revise these Terms & Conditions at any time by updating this page. The version published here is the version in force, and the "last updated" date above tells you when it last changed. Please check back from time to time.
15Governing law
These Terms & Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter, are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute.
