Informational Purposes Only

The materials and information available on this website (makcounsel.com) —including all text, articles, blog posts, regulatory briefings, and general transactional matters, administrative regulations, sports law, or NCAA Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) regulations—are provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on this website constitutes, or is intended to constitute, legal advice.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

Use of this website, reviewing its contents, or transmitting information through email, automated client intake portals, or online contact forms does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and this office or its attorney. An attorney-client relationship is only established through a formal, written representation agreement signed by both you and the attorney.

Communications are Not Confidential or Secure

Do not send confidential, proprietary, trade secrets, or time-sensitive corporate, transactional, regulatory, or contract details through website contact forms or general email addresses. Communications made before a formal attorney-client relationship is established are not protected by the attorney-client privilege, and may not be secure, and could be subject to disclosure to third parties.
