It does not:
Take into account your specific circumstances
Address your particular legal needs
Provide legal advice
Create a lawyer–client relationship
Replace advice from a professional qualified lawyer, accountant or financial adviser
Using the Course or Services, attending coaching calls, or receiving general guidance does not create a lawyer–client relationship, even when the Course and Services are authored or delivered by a family lawyer.
Any comments, feedback or information you provide through the Course or Services are not privileged, confidential or protected by lawyer–client privilege. For this reason, you should not share privileged, confidential or personal information about yourself or another in the Course or Services and we strongly recommend you follow our guidelines on de-personalising information and using a fictional family instead when engaging.
We recommend you obtain independent legal advice specific to your circumstances.
We cannot guarantee all information is complete, free from error or up-to-date at all times, as laws and court practices may change.
It is your responsibility to ensure the Course and Services meet your needs.

Legal advice is provided strictly within the scope of that Client Agreement.
