Legal notices
Legal disclaimer
Please read these notices carefully. They govern your use of this website and your relationship — or lack of one — with Privello and Patrick Smith.
Attorney advertising
This website is an advertisement. Patrick Smith is responsible for the content of this website. The material on this site has been prepared for general informational purposes only and may be considered attorney advertising in some jurisdictions.
Scope of licensure
Patrick Smith is licensed to practice law in the State of Texas, United States. Privello delivers U.S. business immigration and U.S.-side data-protection services directly. Where a matter requires the law of another country — including Swiss law — Privello coordinates qualified local counsel and does not itself practice the law of that jurisdiction.
No certification claims
Privello does not claim any privacy or data-protection certification. References to the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP), the Swiss–U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the GDPR, Standard Contractual Clauses, or any other legal framework describe areas of work, not credentials or guarantees of any particular outcome.
Not legal advice
Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice. The information provided is general in nature, may not reflect the most current legal developments, and may not apply to your specific facts. You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of anything on this site without seeking advice from a qualified attorney about your particular situation.
No attorney–client relationship
Viewing this website, contacting Privello, or submitting information through the contact form does not create an attorney–client relationship. An attorney–client relationship with Privello is formed only by a signed written engagement agreement. Until such an agreement is in place, please do not send confidential or sensitive information, as it may not be treated as privileged or confidential.
No guarantee of results
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every matter is different, and the outcome of any legal matter depends on its own facts and circumstances.
