Attorneys, like other professionals who advise on personal financial matters, are now required by a new federal law, the Financial Modernization Act of 1999, also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Pub. Law 106-102 (1999), to inform their clients of their policies regarding privacy of client information. Attorneys have been and continue to be bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by this new law. Therefore, we have always protected your right to privacy.

In the course of providing our clients with certain legal services, we receive significant non-public personal information from our clients. If you are a client of Clark & Seay, you should know that all information that we receive from you is held in confidence, and is not released to people outside the firm, except as agreed to by you, or as required under an applicable law or ethical code. Even though the provisions of the Financial Modernization Act would allow Clark & Seay to share our client’s non-public personal information with a Clark & Seay subsidiary or other ancillary business entity, the rules of professional conduct prohibit this type of information sharing.

We retain records relating to professional services that we provide so that we are better able to assist you with your professional needs and in, some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. In order to guard your nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards.

Should you require legal advice, you should seek the assistance of counsel.

If you communicate with us by e-mail and you are not a present client, your correspondence will not be considered privileged or confidential.

If you communicate with us by e-mail in connection with a matter for which we already represent you, please understand that the security of internet e-mail is uncertain. By sending sensitive or confidential e-mail messages which are not encrypted you accept the risks of such uncertainty and possible lack of confidentiality over the internet.
