Please wait while the policy is loaded. If it does not load, please click here to view the policy.

Law firms and other professionals who provide services related to your personal financial information are required to inform clients of their policies and practices regarding the privacy and security of your information. Since you have chosen to access our Site, we are providing the following information to you:

In the course of providing clients with advice on legal, business, financial and other related matters, G&C may receive significant personal financial information from its clients. In addition, G&C may assemble and maintain information relating to the legal services provided. The information that G&C may assemble and maintain may be obtained from the client, generated as a result of the services provided, or received from third parties. If you are or become a client of G&C, you should know that all information that G&C receives from a client is held in confidence, and is not released to people outside the firm, except as agreed to by the client, or as allowed or required under applicable law and the rules of professional conduct governing the provision of legal services.

Generally, G&C retains information in its files until completion of the matter to which that information relates. Thereafter, those files may be purged, or placed in storage, or returned to the client, as G&C elects to do, in it’s sole discretion. G&C may retain copies of files returned to clients. Inactive files are maintained until G&C determines that those files are no longer useful in rendering services to the client or are not otherwise required in connection with our role as counsel or former counsel. When inactive files are no longer useful in rendering services to the client, the client may retrieve such files or authorize the destruction of the files. Files which remain inactive for five years will be purged.
