- We are not responsible for any loss or damage resulting from inaccurate or incomplete information submitted by you
Accessing this Website or submitting an enquiry does not establish an attorney-client relationship between you and Idealize Advocates & Attorneys. A formal legal engagement is established only upon:
- The Firm's express written acceptance of your matter
- Execution of a signed engagement letter or service agreement specifying the scope of services, fees, and terms of representation
- Receipt of any applicable advance fee or retainer, as specified in the engagement agreement
Until a formal engagement is established, the Firm reserves the right to decline representation of any matter at its sole discretion — including matters where a conflict of interest exists, where the matter falls outside our practice areas, or for any other professional reason.
ℹ️ Conflict of Interest Check: We may ask for preliminary information about your matter before accepting an engagement in order to conduct a conflict-of-interest check. Providing this preliminary information does not create an attorney-client relationship. 08💳 Fees & Payment Terms Our approach to professional fees and payments +All fees for our professional legal services are discussed and agreed upon transparently before any engagement commences. The following general terms apply to our fee structure:
- Fee Disclosure: Our professional fees and applicable government fees (such as Trademark Registry filing fees, Patent Office fees, etc.) are clearly communicated to clients before any engagement is formalised
- Government Fees: Government fees payable to the Trademark Registry, Indian Patent Office, Copyright Office, or any other statutory authority are additional to our professional fees and are collected separately
- Payment Terms: Payment terms, including advance fees and milestone payments, are specified in the engagement agreement and must be adhered to for services to continue
- No Guarantee of Outcome: Payment of professional fees does not guarantee any specific legal outcome — including trademark registration, patent grant, or success in any legal proceeding
- Refund Policy: Our refund policy is set out in the engagement agreement and varies depending on the nature of the service and the stage at which any termination occurs
- Transparency: We maintain complete financial transparency with all clients — a value we uphold as a core professional commitment
We treat all information shared by clients and prospective clients with the highest standards of confidentiality, in accordance with the professional obligations of advocates under the Advocates Act, 1961, the Bar Council of India Rules, and applicable Indian law.
- All information shared by a formally engaged client in the context of the attorney-client relationship is protected by attorney-client privilege and will not be disclosed to any third party without your express consent, except as required by law
- Information shared before formal engagement (e.g., through contact forms or preliminary enquiries) will be treated with professional discretion but does not attract full attorney-client privilege
- We do not discuss, share, or disclose any client matter — including the fact of representation — to any unauthorised third party
- Our advocates and staff are bound by professional confidentiality obligations that continue even after the termination of an engagement
⚖️ Our Confidentiality Commitment
Adv. Rakesh Kumar and Adv. Soumita Ghosh are enrolled advocates bound by the strict code of professional ethics prescribed by the Bar Council of India. Maintaining client confidentiality is not merely a legal obligation for us — it is a fundamental professional and ethical commitment that underlies every client relationship.
