Disclaimer, Privacy & Website Terms

The information on this website is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not legal advice and is not a substitute for advice tailored to your specific circumstances. Legal outcomes depend on the facts of each matter, the available evidence, the applicable law, procedural requirements and the forum in which the matter is dealt with.

You should not act, refrain from acting, or make legal decisions based solely on material published on this website. Specific legal advice should be obtained for your circumstances before any legal step is taken.

Accessing this website, contacting our office, sending an email, submitting an online enquiry or booking a consultation does not by itself create a solicitor–client relationship. A solicitor–client relationship is formed only when we confirm in writing that we have agreed to act for you.

We may decline to act where there is a conflict of interest, the matter falls outside our scope, or for other professional reasons.

Any discussion of past matters, areas of practice or possible legal pathways is intended to provide general context only. It should not be understood as a representation or guarantee that the same, or any particular, outcome can be achieved in another matter.

Each matter turns on its own facts, the available evidence, the applicable law and the way in which the case is prepared and presented.

Legal costs and fee structures are discussed after an initial assessment of your matter. Nothing on this website constitutes a binding costs agreement, fixed fee offer or quotation unless expressly stated in a written engagement document issued by our office.

If we are retained, costs disclosure and engagement terms will be provided in accordance with applicable professional obligations and the circumstances of the matter.

Information sent through a website form or by ordinary email may not always be secure. Do not send highly sensitive, urgent or time-critical information through the website alone unless we have asked you to do so.

If your matter is urgent, you should contact our office directly by telephone. While we take reasonable care in our communications, electronic transmission carries inherent risks.

We may collect personal information that you choose to provide to us, including your name, contact details, documents and details about your legal enquiry. We use that information to assess enquiries, conduct conflict checks, communicate with you, provide legal services where engaged, comply with professional and legal obligations, and maintain administrative records.

We may disclose personal information where authorised by you, where reasonably required in the course of providing legal services, or where disclosure is required or permitted by law. If we do not accept your matter, we may still retain limited information for conflict-checking, compliance and administrative purposes.

This website may contain links to third-party websites for convenience or reference. R&N Legal is not responsible for the content, availability, accuracy or privacy practices of those external websites.

This website is intended primarily for clients seeking legal services in Victoria, Australia, although some matters handled by our office may involve federal law and federal courts or tribunals. Any reference to courts, tribunals or procedure should be understood in that context unless otherwise stated.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, R&N Legal excludes liability for loss or damage arising from reliance on material published on this website. Nothing on this website excludes any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
