Disclaimer

Please read this disclaimer carefully before using this website. By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using this website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms set out below. If you do not agree with any part of this disclaimer, you must immediately cease using this website.

No Legal Advice

The information contained on this website is general in nature and is provided for informational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice, and the content must not be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal advice tailored to your specific circumstances. The law is complex and subject to frequent change. Information that is accurate at the time of publication may become outdated as a result of legislative amendments or judicial decisions. We make no representations, warranties, or guarantees concerning the accuracy, completeness, currency, reliability, or suitability of any content published on this website.

Every construction law matter is unique. The facts, circumstances, contractual arrangements, and statutory frameworks applicable to any given dispute or transaction vary significantly from one matter to the next. What may be applicable in one case may be entirely inapplicable in another. The general information on this website does not account for the specific factual matrix of your situation. You must not act or refrain from acting on the basis of any information on this website without first obtaining independent, qualified legal advice from a solicitor properly instructed in all relevant aspects of your matter. Acting in reliance on general website information without seeking proper legal counsel could result in adverse legal, financial, or commercial consequences, for which we expressly disclaim all responsibility.

We encourage all visitors who require legal assistance with a construction-related matter to contact a qualified construction lawyer to discuss their individual situation. Only through a proper consultation and after a full review of the relevant documents and facts can appropriate legal advice be provided.

No Solicitor-Client Relationship

Accessing this website, reading its content, or using any of its features does not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and Baker Merz Construction Lawyers. Contacting us through this website — whether by completing an online contact form, sending an email, or any other method of electronic communication — does not establish a solicitor-client relationship or create any contractual or fiduciary obligation on our part to act on your behalf. No solicitor-client relationship arises unless and until all of the following conditions have been satisfied: first, we have expressly agreed in writing to act for you in relation to a specific matter; second, you have signed a costs agreement setting out the terms upon which we will provide legal services; and third, we have issued and you have accepted a written engagement letter confirming our retainer. Until these steps are completed, no professional relationship exists.

You must not transmit confidential, sensitive, or legally privileged information through the contact forms on this website or via unsolicited email. Any information you provide through these channels is not protected by legal professional privilege, as no solicitor-client relationship exists prior to formal engagement. Legal professional privilege only attaches to communications once a solicitor-client relationship has been formally established in accordance with the procedures described above. We accept no responsibility for any loss, damage, or prejudice that you may suffer as a result of disclosing confidential information through this website before a formal solicitor-client relationship has been established.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Baker Merz Construction Lawyers (ABN 40 650 782 317), trading as Construction.Lawyer, its directors, partners, employees, agents, and affiliates accept no liability for any loss or damage whatsoever arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, or reliance upon any content published on this website. This extends to all forms of loss and damage, including but not limited to direct loss, indirect loss, consequential loss, incidental loss, economic loss, loss of profits, loss of revenue, and any other loss or damage however caused and whether arising under contract, tort, or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage.

We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of any third-party websites linked to or from this website. The inclusion of any external link does not imply our endorsement of the linked site or its content. We are not liable for any technical failures, interruptions, delays, viruses, malware, or other harmful components that may affect your device or data as a result of accessing this website. We are not responsible for any unauthorised access to, interception of, or corruption of data transmitted through this website. Nothing in this disclaimer is intended to exclude or limit any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable Australian consumer protection legislation.

Testimonials and Case Studies

This website may display testimonials and case studies. All testimonials represent genuine feedback from clients for whom we have provided legal services. Case studies are based on real matters handled by our firm, although client identities and certain details have been anonymised where necessary to protect confidentiality. Past results do not guarantee or predict the outcome of any future matter.

Every legal matter involves a distinct combination of facts, law, evidence, parties, and procedural circumstances. Results in previous cases depended on the specific conditions applicable to those matters and may not be replicated in different circumstances. Testimonials and case studies are provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be taken as an indication or assurance of what we may achieve in your specific matter.

All information has been prepared for the Australian legal context and is intended for use by persons within Australia. If you are accessing this website from outside Australia, the information may not apply to your jurisdiction. Laws, regulations, and procedures vary substantially between jurisdictions. You should seek advice from a qualified legal practitioner licensed to practise in your local jurisdiction before relying on any information on this website.
