Transmission of Information
If you would like GSBB Law to represent you, the best way to initiate a discussion about that representation is to call the firm at +1-302-425-5800. It is important that we not create a conflict of interest between you and any of our current or past clients. This protects both you and them.

The sending of an email to a GSBB Law lawyer does not create, and the receipt of it does not constitute, an attorney-client relationship. Unless we have created an attorney-client relationship in writing, please understand that no information, materials or documents provided in an email that you send to anyone at the firm will prevent GSBB Law from (i) representing a different client in the same matter, including representing a party adverse to you in the same matter, and (ii) using any such information, materials or documents you submit to us against you in that matter. Also, by acknowledging the terms here, you consent to the Firm’s subsequent use of information, materials or documents that you provide us in the representation of another client. Consequently, please do not send confidential or sensitive information, materials and/or documents to anyone at the Firm until you have been notified that a formal attorney-client relationship has been established.
If you communicate with us by email in connection with a matter for which we already represent you, you should note that the security of Internet email is uncertain. By sending sensitive or confidential information, materials or documents through email messages that are not encrypted, you accept the risks of such uncertainty and possible lack of confidentiality over the Internet.
