CopyrightUnder a federal law called the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 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.
Attorneys always have been and remain obligated to abide by professional standards of confidentiality that are more strict than this new law with regard to your privacy. Therefore, Thompson & Knight has safeguarded and will continue to safeguard the confidentiality of information you provide to us.
Attorneys and support staff at Thompson & Knight may receive knowledge of significant non-public personal financial information about you for purposes of providing legal services related to income tax or estate tax planning, certain residential real estate transactions, or other legal services that are financial in nature. We retain certain records of our professional services to you, including your private financial information, in our files in order to continue to assist you with legal services and your related needs. All information that we receive about you is treated as confidential, and we do not disclose any private financial information about our clients to any third parties except as directed or requested by you, or as required by law.
Access to your personal information is restricted to only those attorneys and support staff who need to know that information about you in order to provide you with the legal services for which you hired us. We maintain internal policies as well as physical and electronic safeguards that comply with federal laws and regulations to protect the safety and confidentiality of your private personal information.
If you ever have any questions or concerns regarding the confidentiality of information that you share with us, please do not hesitate to ask us. Thank you for consulting Thompson & Knight for professional services.
