By accessing or using this website in any way, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of this website immediately. These Terms do not create an attorney-client relationship. Information submitted through this website prior to the establishment of a formal engagement is not secure and is not protected by attorney-client privilege.

I. DEFINITIONS

As used in these Terms and Conditions, the following terms have the meanings set forth below.

“500law” means the law firm of 500law, including its partners, associates, of counsel, employees, agents, and affiliated entities, collectively.

“Content” means all text, graphics, photographs, images, video, audio, data, software, code, works of authorship, publications, client alerts, legal updates, and any other materials that appear on or are made available through the Site.

“Intellectual Property Rights” means any and all patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, service marks, trade secrets, moral rights, rights of publicity, and any other proprietary or intellectual property rights, whether registered or unregistered, throughout the world.

“Personal Information” means information that directly or indirectly identifies an individual, as further described in the Privacy Policy.

“Site” means the 500law website located at www.500law.com and all associated subdomains, pages, and digital properties operated by 500law.

“User” means any individual who accesses, browses, or otherwise uses the Site, including prospective clients, existing clients, co-counsel, vendors, job applicants, students, members of the press, and the general public.

II. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

By accessing or using the Site in any manner, including, without limitation, by visiting, browsing, registering, downloading content, subscribing to publications, or submitting an inquiry, you accept and agree to be bound by this Agreement in its entirety. This Agreement constitutes a legally binding contract between you and 500law.

If you are accessing the Site on behalf of a company, organization, government agency, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind such entity to this Agreement. In such case, the term “you” refers to both you individually and the entity you represent.

500law reserves the right to modify, revise, supplement, or replace these Terms at any time and without prior notice. Modifications become effective immediately upon posting to the Site. The “Last Amended” date at the top of this document will be updated to reflect any changes. Your continued use of the Site following any modification constitutes your irrevocable acceptance of the modified Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your sole remedy is to cease all use of the Site.

III. NO LEGAL ADVICE; NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

The Content provided on this Site is made available solely for general informational and educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice, legal opinions, or legal representation of any kind. The Content may not reflect the most current legal developments, legislative changes, regulatory guidance, or judicial decisions, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for competent legal counsel from an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.

No person should act or refrain from acting on the basis of any Content on this Site without first obtaining appropriate legal or professional advice from a licensed attorney with knowledge of the specific facts and circumstances involved. Receipt of Content from this Site does not and will not constitute legal advice, and use of any information contained on the Site is entirely at your own risk and does not give rise to any liability for 500law.

NO ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP IS FORMED BY YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THIS SITE, YOUR SUBMISSION OF A CONTACT FORM OR INQUIRY, OR YOUR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION WITH ANY ATTORNEY AT 500law. Any communication with 500law through this Site prior to the firm’s completion of its standard client-intake and conflict-of-interest clearance procedures and the execution of a formal written engagement agreement does not create or constitute an attorney-client relationship, impose any duty of confidentiality on 500law, or obligate 500law to represent you in any matter.

YOU SHOULD NOT TRANSMIT CONFIDENTIAL, SENSITIVE, OR PRIVILEGED INFORMATION OF ANY KIND TO 500law THROUGH THIS SITE. Any information you submit to 500law via this Site or via Internet email prior to establishing a formal engagement is transmitted on a non-confidential basis, is not secure, and is not protected by attorney-client privilege. 500law has no duty of confidentiality with respect to such unsolicited communications.

Before 500law can represent any new client, the firm must conduct a conflicts-of-interest analysis. The submission of information or the initiation of a potential engagement inquiry does not waive or prevent the firm from declining any proposed representation.

IV. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

A. Ownership. All Content on this Site, including but not limited to text, articles, client alerts, practice descriptions, attorney biographies, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, and software, is the exclusive property of 500law, its licensors, or other content providers and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, trade dress, and other Intellectual Property Rights laws. The compilation of all Content on the Site is the exclusive property of 500law and is protected by U.S. and international copyright law.

B. Limited License to Users. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, 500law grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Site solely for your own lawful, personal, and non-commercial informational purposes.

VI. FRAUD ALERT AND IMPERSONATION WARNING

500law is aware that fraudulent actors may attempt to impersonate the Firm, its attorneys, or its personnel through email, messaging applications, social media, or other communication channels. These schemes frequently take the following forms:

fraudulent invoices or demands for immediate payment purportedly on behalf of the Firm;
fictional inheritance or estate distributions requiring the target to advance fees or provide financial account information;
fake job offers or work-from-home employment opportunities;
phishing emails using addresses that closely resemble legitimate 500law email addresses; and
counterfeit documents bearing the Firm’s name, logo, or purported attorney signatures.

500law will never: (i) request payment through messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or similar services; (ii) use personal email services such as Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, or similar services for official communications; or (iii) contact individuals through unsolicited text messages requesting personal or financial information.

If you receive a communication purporting to be from 500law that appears suspicious or unexpected, verify its authenticity using the contact information published on this Site. Do not click any links, open any attachments, or rely on any contact information contained within a suspicious communication. If you believe you have been targeted by a fraudulent scheme involving the Firm’s name, notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities and contact 500law directly. The Firm disclaims all liability for damages arising from impersonation schemes carried out by third parties.
