1. Who we are

Hale & Ward is a law firm with offices in New York, Dubai and London. In this policy, “we” means the Hale & Ward office you contact or instruct. Each office is responsible for the personal information it handles.

2. What we collect

3. How we use it

To reply to you, check for conflicts of interest, give legal advice, meet our legal and regulatory obligations, and improve this website. We never sell personal information.

4. Who we share it with

Only where needed for your matter: courts, other parties’ lawyers, experts, translators and our IT providers, all bound by confidentiality. Messages sent by WhatsApp are also subject to WhatsApp’s own terms.

5. How long we keep it

Enquiries that don’t become matters are deleted after 12 months. Client files are kept for the period required by the professional rules that apply to the office handling your matter.

6. Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, or object to how we use it, subject to our legal obligations. Write to privacy@haleward.law and we will reply within 30 days.
