Website terms and conditions

Using this site means you accept the rules that sit behind it.

Legal Light Solicitors uses these terms to set clear limits on how the website can be used, what our legal content is for, and how a formal solicitor-client relationship begins.

Read them before you rely on anything here. The short version is plain: this page gives information, not formal advice, and no engagement starts until we agree it in writing.

Website terms of use

This agreement covers your use of the site.

By visiting this website, you agree to use it lawfully and with care. The content is there to explain our services, share general legal information, and help you decide whether to get in touch.

You must not copy, alter, or reuse the material in a way that suggests it belongs to you. If you want to refer someone to a page, link to it plainly and keep the context accurate.

No promise is made by browsing.

Looking at a page does not create a retainer, a duty to act, or any separate commitment from us.

The wording matters.

If a point needs formal advice, treat the website as a starting place and speak to a solicitor before you act.

No legal advice disclaimer

The site is for general information only.

The pages, articles, and notes on this site are not formal legal advice. They may be useful, but they are not tailored to your facts, your documents, or your deadline.

Rely on them at your own risk. If you need advice on a property, family, probate, litigation, or criminal matter, get a proper review before you take the next step.

What to do next

Use the page as a signpost.

If a page raises a real issue, send the file, contract, notice, or court paper to us and ask for a formal review. That is where the work starts.

Solicitor-client relationship

A formal engagement begins in writing.

We only create a solicitor-client relationship when the letter of engagement is signed and returned, and the scope is agreed. Until then, any discussion is preliminary.

That keeps the work clear. It sets the issue, the fees, the limits, and the next step before either side commits.

1

Initial contact

You send the issue, the deadline, and any papers that matter. We decide whether the matter fits our practice and ask for anything else we need.

2

Engagement letter

If we can act, we issue a written engagement letter. The scope is set there, along with the terms that govern the matter.

3

Work begins

We act within the agreed scope. If the brief changes, we revisit it in writing before moving ahead.

4

Close and complaints

When the matter ends, we close it in line with the retainer and the firm's complaints process. Everything stays on record.

Intellectual property and use

The words and layout belong to the firm.

  • Do not reproduce articles, page text, or branded visuals without permission.
  • Do not frame our pages in a way that hides where the content came from.
  • Link to the site in a fair way. Keep the link text plain and accurate.
  • If you want to quote a section, ask first and keep the context intact.

Website use rules

Keep the site respectful and accurate.

Do not scrape, copy, or alter content for another site or marketing piece.

Do not imply that we endorse outside material unless we say so in writing.

Do not use the site to send harmful code, spam, or false instructions.

If you need a copy for internal use, ask for it and keep the source clear.

Limitation of liability and governing law

Irish law applies to this site.

We do our work to a professional standard, and the law still sets limits. We do not accept indirect loss, lost opportunity, or similar knock-on claims from site use where the law allows that exclusion.

Irish law

The terms are read under Irish law.

Dublin courts

Any dispute sits in the Dublin courts where allowed.

Liability cap

Any cap is set by law and the engagement letter.
