3. Attorney-Client Relationship

The attorney-client relationship between you and Pinkman Law is established upon the execution of a formal engagement letter or retainer agreement, following an initial consultation where we determine that we can effectively represent your interests without conflicts. This relationship is governed by the highest standards of professional conduct, confidentiality, and fiduciary duty as prescribed by the Slovak Bar Association and applicable legal ethics rules.

Our law firm is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of all client communications and information shared during the course of our representation. This attorney-client privilege extends to all forms of communication, including verbal discussions, written correspondence, electronic communications, and any documents or materials provided to our law company in connection with your legal matter.

Client Responsibilities

• Provide complete, accurate, and timely information relevant to your legal matter
• Respond promptly to requests for information, documentation, or decisions
• Maintain open and honest communication with your assigned attorney
• Comply with all agreed-upon payment terms and fee arrangements
• Inform us immediately of any changes in circumstances that may affect your case

4. Fee Structure and Payment Terms

Our law company employs various fee structures depending on the nature and complexity of the legal services required. Fee arrangements may include hourly billing, flat fees for specific services, contingency fees where permitted by law, or hybrid arrangements combining multiple fee structures. All fee arrangements will be clearly outlined in your engagement letter, ensuring complete transparency regarding the cost of legal services.

Hourly rates vary based on the experience level of the attorney assigned to your matter, the complexity of the legal issues involved, and the urgency of the required services. Our law firm maintains competitive rates that reflect the high quality of legal services provided while ensuring accessibility for clients across various economic circumstances.

5. Confidentiality and Privacy

Pinkman Law is committed to maintaining the strictest standards of confidentiality regarding all client information, communications, and legal matters. Our law company recognizes that confidentiality is fundamental to the attorney-client relationship and essential for providing effective legal representation. All information shared with our law firm, whether verbal, written, or electronic, is protected by attorney-client privilege and professional confidentiality obligations.

Our confidentiality obligations extend beyond the conclusion of our representation and continue indefinitely. We implement comprehensive security measures to protect client information, including secure document management systems, encrypted communications, and restricted access protocols. All members of our law firm, including attorneys, paralegals, and administrative staff, are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and professional ethical obligations.

6. Limitation of Liability

While Pinkman Law strives to provide the highest quality legal services and achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients, we cannot guarantee specific results in any legal matter. The practice of law involves inherent uncertainties, and outcomes depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including but not limited to court decisions, opposing party actions, changes in applicable law, and factual developments.

Our liability for professional services is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law and professional conduct rules. In no event shall our law company be liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages arising from our representation, regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or whether we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

7. Termination of Services

Either party may terminate the attorney-client relationship at any time, subject to applicable professional conduct rules and any court orders that may be in effect. Clients have the absolute right to terminate our representation at any time, with or without cause. Our law firm may terminate representation in accordance with professional conduct rules, including situations involving non-payment of fees, client non-cooperation, conflicts of interest, or other circumstances that make continued representation inadvisable or impossible.

Upon termination, we will provide reasonable assistance in transitioning your legal matter to successor counsel, including providing copies of your file and relevant documents. All outstanding fees and costs must be paid upon termination, and any unused portion of retainer fees will be promptly refunded in accordance with applicable professional conduct rules.

8. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of Slovakia and are subject to the jurisdiction of Slovak courts. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or our legal services shall be resolved through good faith negotiations between the parties. If such negotiations are unsuccessful, disputes may be submitted to mediation or arbitration as mutually agreed upon by the parties.

Our law company is committed to maintaining positive client relationships and will make every reasonable effort to resolve any concerns or disputes amicably and professionally. We encourage open communication regarding any issues that may arise during the course of our representation.

9. Modifications and Updates

Pinkman Law reserves the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time to reflect changes in our practices, applicable law, or professional conduct requirements. Any modifications will be effective immediately upon posting on our website or upon written notice to existing clients. Continued engagement of our legal services following such modifications constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

We encourage clients to review these Terms periodically to stay informed of any updates or changes. For significant modifications that may materially affect existing client relationships, we will provide advance notice and an opportunity to discuss the implications of such changes.
