Privacy Policy.

Litlead Partners LLP is an international law firm with offices in New York, London, and Frankfurt. For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the relevant Litlead Partners entity in your jurisdiction is the data controller for personal data processed in connection with that office.

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

• Inquiry information — your name, organisation, email address, preferred office, and the content of any message you send through our request-an-appointment form.
• Engagement information — information required to perform conflicts checks, anti-money laundering and know-your-client checks, and to provide legal services if the firm accepts the matter.
• Technical information — limited technical data automatically collected when you visit the website, such as IP address, browser type, referring page, and pages viewed, used solely to operate and secure the site.

We do not request, and you should not submit, sensitive or confidential information through this website until a written engagement has been confirmed.

We use personal information to:

• respond to inquiries and route them to the appropriate office or partner;
• perform conflicts and regulatory checks before accepting any matter;
• provide legal services to clients we accept;
• comply with our professional, regulatory, and legal obligations;
• operate, secure, and improve this website.

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases: (i) your consent, where given; (ii) the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract; (iii) compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation; and (iv) our legitimate interests in operating an international law firm, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.

We do not sell personal information. We may share personal information with: other Litlead Partners offices and personnel involved in your matter or inquiry; trusted service providers acting on our instructions (for example, secure email and IT infrastructure providers); regulators, courts, and tribunals where required by law; and, with your authorisation, co-counsel or other professional advisers retained on your matter.

Because we operate across the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, personal information may be transferred among these jurisdictions. Where required, transfers from the EEA or the United Kingdom are protected by appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to satisfy our professional, regulatory, and legal obligations. Inquiry data from individuals who do not become clients is retained only for so long as is necessary to address the inquiry and to maintain conflicts records.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port the personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. EEA and UK residents may also lodge a complaint with their local supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at inquiries@litleadpartners.com.

Litlead Partners maintains organisational and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission over the Internet, however, can be guaranteed to be fully secure.

This website uses only cookies that are strictly necessary to operate the site. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The effective date above will indicate when the policy was last revised.
