3. Website — Not Legal Advice

The information on aalegalservices.in is not a substitute for professional legal advice tailored to your specific circumstances. No attorney-client relationship is created by your use of this website or by viewing its content. A formal attorney-client relationship is only established upon execution of a written engagement agreement and/or payment of a retainer.

While we strive to keep information accurate and current, laws change frequently. We make no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the accuracy, completeness, or currency of the information on this website.

4. Confidentiality

All information shared with us in the course of a legal engagement is treated as strictly confidential, subject to the professional obligations of advocates under the Bar Council of India Rules (Rule 17 — duty to maintain confidentiality).

Information submitted through our website contact form or via email before a formal engagement is also treated with discretion, but does not attract the full protection of legal professional privilege until a formal retainer is established.

We may disclose information where required by a court order, statute, or professional regulatory authority.

5. Fees & Payment

• An initial consultation fee of ₹2,000 applies for the first meeting (in-person or by phone).
• Professional fees for representation or advisory work are determined case-by-case and communicated prior to engagement.
• All fees are payable as agreed and are exclusive of court filing fees, stamp duty, process server charges, and any other out-of-pocket disbursements, unless expressly stated otherwise.
• Fees once paid for services rendered are non-refundable. Advance retainer fees not yet applied to services may be refundable subject to the terms of the individual engagement agreement.
• A&A Legal Services does not charge fees on a contingency (no-win-no-fee) basis unless specifically agreed in writing for a particular matter.

6. Retainer & Engagement

• We have confirmed in writing (email or letter) that we are accepting your matter.
• The terms of engagement have been agreed, including scope, fees, and retainer (if applicable).
• Any applicable conflict-of-interest checks have been completed.

Until a formal engagement is established, we are under no obligation to take any action on your behalf, and information you share with us does not create confidentiality obligations beyond general professional discretion.
