12. Branding & Publicity Policy

The publication on this website and our social media accounts (“Internet Publication”) contain material designed to build our brand as a professional law firm. As we go on to build our brand, we set out below our guiding principles:

12.1 Nothing on the Internet Publication or in the documents available through it is intended to provide legal or other professional advice. The Internet Publication is not intended for a particular recipient, nor customised based on certain specific facts. We put a clear notice to inform our visitors and readers that they should not rely on any information contained on the Internet Publication as the information is only provided for information purpose and they should seek professional advice from a qualified lawyer.

12.2 Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. We may publish certain written articles to share some of our past experiences on handling certain issues or cases that our lawyers have dealt with (of course with client’s prior consent or with confidentiality observed). Such publication is aimed at knowledge sharing and shall not be construed as legal advice. We always advise our clients that each case is different and therefore, prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

12.3 The Internet Publication is not intended to be an advertisement for legal services or solicitation of clients. According to Cambridge dictionary, the word “advertising” means the business of trying to persuade people to buy products or services. We do not engage in advertising activity to promote our legal services. One example of such advertising is putting up advertisement in a magazine or paying an online search engine advertising platform such as Google Ads to list a website.

We do, however, pay Facebook to sponsor some of our written articles but we make sure that our written articles do not promote our law firm or our legal services. For example, in our articles, we only mention the name of the author and his position in the Firm. We do not mention anything like “if you need legal services pertaining to the topic discussed in this article, feel free to contact the author”.

We also create short messages in the form of an image text aimed at sharing legal news and updates in short and quick way. As such, we want our Internet Publication to reach as many people as possible.

12.4 Even if, for some reasons, the Internet Publication is viewed as a form of advertisement, we make sure that we follow the Legal Profession (Publicity) Rules 2001, which allows lawyers to publicize their legal services so long such publicity is made in a manner that will not diminish public confidence in the legal profession or bring the legal profession into disrepute. We also make it a point to ensure that the appearance and contents on all our Internet Publication are befitting the dignity of the legal profession. We also ensure that only approved information is allowed on our Internet Publication. For example, we do not allow any of our lawyers to call themselves an expert in any area of practice.

13. Third Party Software and Application Programming Interface (“API”)

We may use third party software and APIs when providing services on the Platform. We do not guarantee the reliability of such third-party software or APIs. You agree that we are not liable for any loss or damage whatsoever incurred or suffered by you arising out of our use of such third-party software or APIs.

14. No Lawyer-Client Relationship Created by Use of the Platform

Neither your receipt of information from the Platform, nor your use of the Platform to contact T&T or one of its lawyers creates a lawyer-client relationship between you and T&T. You will become a client of T&T only if and when we have agreed to act as your legal counsel and you have signed a written engagement letter with T&T. As a matter of policy, we do not accept a new client without first investigating for possible conflicts of interests and obtaining a signed engagement letter. We may also carry out credit check and customer due diligence check as part of our reporting obligation under the anti-money laundering law. We may, for example, already represent another party involved in your matter. We reserve the right to decline any representation if it would create a conflict of interest with any of our current or former clients or for any other reason.

15. No Confidentiality

You may not use the Platform to provide confidential information about a legal matter of yours to T&T. Your use of the Platform does not make you a client of T&T or even a prospective client of T&T. If you have confidential information that you would like to give to any lawyer at T&T, please communicate with one of our lawyers in person or by telephone or email – not by filling in any form on the Platform or by sending an unsolicited email to us or any of our lawyers.

However, if you do provide confidential information directly to our lawyers (and through the Platform), we will preserve client’s confidentiality and legal professional privilege. Our lawyers may exchange your information with each other strictly for the purpose of providing legal advice or solution to you. We may also disclose or transfer the information you shared to our third party service providers including legal process outsourcers and hosting service providers, whether such providers are located in Malaysia or abroad.

16. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless and keep indemnified, defended and held harmless T&T and its licensors, officers, partners, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable advocates and solicitors’ fees, arising from or relating to your use or misuse of the Platform or the placement or transmission of any message, information, software or other materials through the Platform by you.

21.1. If any provision of this Agreement is or may become under any written law, or is found by any court or administrative body or competent jurisdiction to be, illegal, void, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable then:

21.1.1. such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, voidness, invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability;

21.1.2. the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; and

21.1.3. the parties shall use their respective best endeavours to negotiate and agree a substitute provision which is valid and enforceable and achieves to the greatest extent possible of the economic, legal and commercial objectives of such illegal, void, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable term, condition, stipulation, provision, covenant or undertaking.

22. Assignment

22.1. You may not assign, transfer or sub-contract any of your rights and obligations under this Agreement to any other person without our prior written consent.

23. Waiver

If a party waives any right under this Agreement, it must be done in writing.

A waiver of a breach of a term in this Agreement does not operate as a waiver of another breach of the same term or any other term.
