NOTICE: While we would like to hear from you, we cannot represent you as our client until, among other things, we know that doing so will not create a conflict-of-interest for either of us. Accordingly, please do not send us any information about any matter that may involve a potential legal representation until you receive a written statement from us that we represent you (an "engagement letter"). Unless you are already a client of ours, and an engagement letter has been signed by both of us, your e-mail may not be treated as privileged and confidential.

The best way for you to initiate a possible representation is to call our main switchboard at 212-421-2233. We will put you in contact with someone who will first take you through our conflict-of-interest procedures and see that you are referred to a lawyer suited to handle your matter. If and when you receive and sign an engagement letter from that lawyer, you will be our client, and we may exchange information freely.

If you communicate with us by e-mail in connection with a matter for which we already represent you, please remember that e-mail is not fully secure. You should avoid sending highly sensitive or confidential e-mail messages without taking the step of ensuring the security of those messages.
