Client confidentiality is the hallmark of my practise. I am committed to providing the strictest level of confidentiality in all of my dealings both with respect to clients and with respect to former clients.
In addition to the professional confidentiality obligations to which I am bound as a practicing member of the Law Society of Upper Canada, my confidentiality policies are as follows:
1. I will never communicate confidential client information to a third party without first having obtained authorization. Once authorization has been granted confidential client information will only be communicated for the purpose of, and to the extent necessary, to advance the client's position.
2. I will not reveal to any third party, without client authorization, that a solicitor-client relationship has been or is currently in effect.
3. I regularly communicate by means of electronic mail. Electronic mail is not a secure means of communication. If you are not comfortable with the use of electronic mail as a means of communication in connection with your matter please advise me so that we may make alternate communication arrangements.
4. I regularly employ wireless communications devices in the course of my practice (including a cell phone and a Blackberry). These devices are not as secure as more traditional means of communication. If you are not comfortable with the use of these devices as a means of communication in connection with your matter please advise me so that we may make alternate communication arrangements.
5. I regularly communicate with government officials on a "no names" basis. If I communicate with government officials on a "no names" basis I will ensure that I do not do anything, either expressly or implicitly to reveal your identity.
