By accessing, browsing, or using the website https://sanction-lawyer.com (the "Website"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (the "Terms"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (the "User" or "you") and Sanction Lawyers (the "Firm," "we," "us," or "our"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease using the Website and any services offered through it.

We reserve the right to modify, amend, or update these Terms at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Website. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of such changes. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically to stay informed of any updates.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Website, whether or not you engage our legal services.

Our Services

Sanction Lawyers provides specialized legal services in the area of sanctions law, including but not limited to advice and representation concerning economic sanctions, trade restrictions, export controls, compliance programs, licensing applications, enforcement actions, and related regulatory matters (collectively, the "Services"). Our team of expert sanction lawyers offers guidance to individuals, businesses, and organizations navigating complex sanctions regimes imposed by various jurisdictions.

The information provided on the Website is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. The content on the Website — including articles, blog posts, case studies, FAQs, and other materials — should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal counsel tailored to your specific circumstances.

No attorney-client relationship is created between you and Sanction Lawyers by virtue of your use of the Website or any communication through the Website, including contact forms, email, or telephone inquiries. An attorney-client relationship is established only when both parties have executed a written engagement agreement that clearly defines the scope of representation, fees, and other material terms. Until such an agreement is signed by both you and an authorized representative of Sanction Lawyers, we have no obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any information you provide, and such information may not be protected by attorney-client privilege.

We do not guarantee any specific outcome or result in connection with any legal matter. Past results described on the Website do not guarantee or predict future outcomes. Each legal matter is unique and must be evaluated on its own facts and circumstances.

Client Obligations

If you engage Sanction Lawyers to provide legal services pursuant to a signed engagement agreement, you agree to fulfill the following obligations:

Accurate Information: You must provide complete, accurate, and truthful information to the Firm. This includes all facts, documents, and materials relevant to your matter. You must promptly inform us of any changes to the information you have provided or any new developments that may affect your legal matter. Failure to provide accurate information may compromise our ability to represent you effectively and may result in adverse consequences for your case.
Timely Cooperation: You agree to cooperate fully and promptly with the Firm in all aspects of your representation. This includes responding to requests for information, attending scheduled meetings and consultations, reviewing and approving documents in a timely manner, and making yourself available as reasonably necessary for the progression of your matter. Delays in your cooperation may negatively impact the outcome of your case and may result in missed deadlines or other procedural disadvantages.
Confidentiality of Strategy: You agree to maintain the confidentiality of all legal strategies, advice, work product, and communications shared by the Firm. You must not disclose such information to third parties without our prior written consent, except as may be required by law or as necessary to implement the agreed-upon legal strategy. Unauthorized disclosure of confidential legal strategies may undermine your legal position and waive applicable privileges.
Compliance with Laws: You represent and warrant that you will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with your matter and will not use our Services for any unlawful purpose or in any manner that violates these Terms.
Payment Obligations: You agree to pay all fees and expenses in accordance with the terms set forth in your engagement agreement and as further described in the Fees & Payment section below.

Failure to fulfill these obligations may result in the Firm's withdrawal from representation, subject to applicable rules of professional conduct and with appropriate notice to you.

Fees & Payment

All fees for legal services provided by Sanction Lawyers will be agreed upon in writing and set forth in a signed engagement agreement before we commence work on your matter. Our fee structures may include hourly rates, flat fees, retainer arrangements, contingency fees, or other billing methods as appropriate to the nature and scope of the engagement.

Unless otherwise specified in your engagement agreement, the following payment terms apply:

Invoicing: We will provide periodic invoices detailing the services rendered, time expended, expenses incurred, and amounts due. Invoices are typically issued monthly, but the frequency may vary depending on the terms of your engagement agreement.
Payment Due Date: Payment is due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date unless otherwise specified in your engagement agreement. Payment may be made by bank transfer, check, credit card, or other methods as we may designate.
Retainers: We may require an advance payment retainer before commencing work. The retainer will be held in a client trust account and applied against fees and expenses as they are incurred. You may be required to replenish the retainer if it becomes depleted during the course of the representation.
Expenses: In addition to professional fees, you are responsible for reimbursing all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with your matter, including but not limited to court fees, filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, research costs, copying and document production costs, and other disbursements.
Late Payment: If payment is not received by the due date, we reserve the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. Late payment may also result in suspension of work on your matter or withdrawal from representation, subject to applicable rules of professional conduct and with appropriate notice.
Disputed Invoices: If you dispute any invoice, you must notify us in writing within fifteen (15) days of the invoice date, specifying the basis for the dispute. Undisputed portions of the invoice remain due and payable according to the standard payment terms.

Fee agreements are subject to the rules of professional conduct applicable to attorneys, and you have the right to a clear explanation of all fees and charges. We encourage you to discuss any questions or concerns about fees before engaging our services.
