Reliance on Information Posted

The information presented on or through the Website is made available solely for general information purposes and not for the purpose of providing legal advice. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of this information. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk. We disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by you or any other visitor to the Website, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents.

Use of and access to the Website or any of the materials or contract information contained within the Website does not create an attorney-client relationship between RLF and You and will not prevent us from representing someone else in connection with a specific matter involving or related to You that may be directly adverse to you.

This Website may include content provided by third parties, including materials provided by other users, bloggers, and third-party licensors, syndicators, aggregators, and/or reporting services. All statements and/or opinions expressed in these materials, and all articles and responses to questions and other content, other than the content provided by RLF, are solely the opinions and the responsibility of the person or entity providing those materials. These materials do not necessarily reflect the opinion of RLF. We are not responsible, or liable to you or any third party, for the content or accuracy of any materials provided by any third parties.

Disclosure of Attorney Relationships

RLF maintains a team of employed and independent attorneys to work with and represent RLF’s clients. All attorneys identified as “Principals,” “Associates,” or “Of Counsel” are members of RLF or “Firm Attorneys”. All Firm Attorneys practice together at RLF and maintain a common and centralized conflict-of-interest checking system designed to comply with the Rules of Professional Conduct and avoid conflicts of interest.

RLF also maintains a network of relationships with Independent Attorneys who are licensed in various jurisdictions from around the United States. Any attorney who is listed on the Website who is identified as an “Independent Attorney” works at a law firm that is separate and independent from RLF. RLF maintains collaborative relationships with these “Independent Attorneys” and may associate with these Independent Attorneys occasionally on a matter-by-matter basis. As in every situation in which another lawyer or law firm is associated to assist on a particular matter, at the beginning of working together with an Independent Attorney on a specific matter, RLF undertakes to verify that the Independent Attorney does not have an ethical conflict of interest that would prevent the Independent Attorney from working with RLF in representing RLF’s client on that matter. Because Independent Attorneys only associate with RLF on specific and discrete matters, RLF does not maintain a centralized conflict-of-interest checking system with the Independent Attorneys. RLF only associates with or shares client files with Independent Attorneys after disclosing and receiving permission from RLF’s client for whom the Independent Attorney will be working.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Oregon without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Oregon or any other jurisdiction).

Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Website shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Oregon and County of Clackamas, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
