Website Terms of Use

These Website Terms of Use apply to your use of the Alpiner Law website. By using this website, you agree to these terms.

1. About Alpiner Law

Alpiner Law is a specialist criminal defence firm authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA No. 8010575).

This website provides information about Alpiner Law, our services and how to contact us.

2. Information on this website

The information provided on this website is for general information only.

Although we take reasonable care to ensure that information published on the website is accurate and up to date, it is not intended to constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as legal advice in relation to any particular circumstances.

The law and legal procedures may change, and the application of the law will depend upon the individual circumstances of each matter.

You should obtain appropriate legal advice about your particular circumstances before taking or refraining from taking action based upon information contained on this website.

3. No solicitor-client relationship

Your use of this website does not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and Alpiner Law.

Submitting an enquiry or consultation request through the website does not mean that Alpiner Law has agreed to act for you, accepted your case or provided you with legal advice.

A solicitor-client relationship will only arise once Alpiner Law has expressly agreed to act for you and any necessary client onboarding, conflict checks and other professional or regulatory requirements have been completed.

You should not assume that Alpiner Law is acting for you unless this has been expressly confirmed.

4. Consultation enquiries

The website allows you to submit an enquiry requesting contact or a consultation from Alpiner Law.

Submission of an enquiry does not guarantee that Alpiner Law will be able to accept your matter or provide representation.

Please do not use the website consultation form to provide highly sensitive information, financial information or documentation unless specifically requested to do so.

Information submitted through the website will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

5. Urgent legal matters

Website enquiries may not be reviewed immediately and the website should not be relied upon as a means of obtaining urgent legal assistance.

If your matter is urgent, including where you have been arrested, are at a police station, are due to attend court imminently or are subject to an immediate legal deadline, you should seek appropriate legal assistance without relying solely upon a website enquiry.

6. Website availability

We aim to keep the website available and operating correctly but cannot guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted or free from technical errors.

We may suspend, withdraw, change or update any part of the website where reasonably necessary.

We are not responsible for interruptions or problems caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control.

7. External links

This website may contain links to websites or resources operated by third parties.

Such links are provided for information and convenience only. Alpiner Law does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices.

The inclusion of a link does not necessarily constitute endorsement of the third party or its website.

8. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the content of this website, including its text, design, graphics, branding and other materials, is owned by or licensed to Alpiner Law and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may view and print reasonable extracts from the website for your own personal and non-commercial use.

You must not reproduce, distribute, modify, republish or commercially exploit website content without prior permission where such permission is required.

9. Liability

Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.

Alpiner Law is not responsible for loss arising solely from reliance upon general information published on this website instead of obtaining legal advice appropriate to your individual circumstances.

We do not exclude or limit any liability arising from legal services that Alpiner Law has expressly agreed to provide. Any such services will be subject to the terms applicable to the relevant solicitor-client relationship.

10. Privacy and cookies

Our collection and use of personal information through this website is explained in our Privacy Policy.

Information about our use of cookies and similar technologies is provided in our Cookie Policy.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these Website Terms of Use from time to time, including where the website, our services or applicable legal or regulatory requirements change.

The date shown at the top of this page indicates when these terms were last updated.

12. Governing law

These Website Terms of Use and any non-contractual disputes arising in connection with the use of this website are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction in relation to disputes arising from use of the website, subject to any rights you may have under applicable law to bring proceedings elsewhere.
