1. Articles, case analyses, checklists, forms, self-assessment tools and all other content on the website (the “Content”) are intended only to provide general information for reference.
2. The Content is not legal advice and does not replace direct discussion with a lawyer about your specific files, documents and circumstances.
3. Case analyses are based on published judgments and documents; the comments in them are FC Legal’s professional views at the time of writing, not the views of any state authority or court. The outcome of a case already decided does not guarantee a similar outcome in any other case.

Article 3. Lawyer–client relationship

1. Reading the Content, sending questions through a form, email, the hotline or Zalo, using the “Khám sức khỏe pháp lý” (Legal Health Check) tool, or holding preliminary discussions does not create a lawyer–client relationship between you and FC Legal.
2. A lawyer–client relationship is formed only when FC Legal has checked for conflicts of interest and confirmed that it accepts the matter, and both parties have signed a legal services contract (or an equivalent written confirmation). The scope, fees and responsibilities of each party are as set out in that contract.
3. Before a lawyer–client relationship is formed, FC Legal has no obligation to monitor any limitation period, procedural time limit or other legal deadline that applies to you. If your matter has an urgent deadline, you must monitor it yourself and state it clearly when you contact us.
4. Information you send is nevertheless kept confidential under the Personal Data Privacy Policy and the rules on lawyers’ professional confidentiality.
