Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Lawyers for Energy, Environment, and Development (LEED) Limited collects, uses, shares and protects information obtained from visitors and clients through our website at https://leedllcbd.org/ and in the course of providing legal services.

LEED is a law firm. Information you share with us in connection with legal advice or representation is additionally protected by the duty of professional confidentiality owed by advocates in Bangladesh, which is a stricter obligation than this policy alone. Where this policy and that duty differ, the duty of confidentiality prevails.

Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

  • Your name, and contact details including email address, postal address and telephone number.
  • Information about the legal matter you are enquiring about, including documents, correspondence and factual background you choose to send us.
  • Identification and verification information required for client due diligence, such as National ID, passport, TIN or company registration details.
  • Billing and payment information, including bank or mobile financial service (MFS) account details used to settle fees.
  • Technical information collected automatically when you browse the website, such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and time spent on the site.

How We Collect It

We collect this information when you:

  • Submit an enquiry or contact form on our website.
  • Request or attend a consultation.
  • Engage us to act on a matter and provide documents or instructions.
  • Subscribe to receive our legal updates, newsletters or event invitations.
  • Correspond with our lawyers or support staff by email, telephone or messaging application.
  • Browse the website, through cookies and similar technologies.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Assess your enquiry and carry out conflict-of-interest checks before accepting a matter.
  • Provide legal advice and representation, including filing and conducting proceedings on your behalf.
  • Meet client identification, verification and record-keeping obligations under applicable law.
  • Raise invoices, process payments and maintain accounts.
  • Respond to your questions and keep you updated on the progress of your matter.
  • Send legal updates, newsletters or event invitations where you have asked to receive them.
  • Maintain, secure and improve our website.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share client information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Confidentiality and Legal Professional Privilege

Communications between you and our lawyers made for the purpose of seeking or giving legal advice are treated as privileged and confidential. Please note that sending an enquiry through this website does not by itself create a lawyer-client relationship. Until we have completed our conflict checks and confirmed an engagement in writing, please avoid sending us sensitive or confidential material that you would not want disclosed.

Information Sharing

We may share your information with:

  • Advocates, senior counsel, experts, translators or investigators instructed on your matter, where necessary to advance it.
  • Courts, tribunals, arbitrators, regulators and opposing parties, to the extent required to conduct your matter.
  • Service providers who support the firm’s operations, such as IT, hosting, accounting and secure document storage providers, under obligations of confidentiality.
  • Law enforcement, government authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by law, by order of a court, or to establish or defend legal claims.

We will not disclose privileged client information except where you have consented, or where disclosure is compelled by law or an order of a competent court.

Data Security

We apply administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold, including access controls, secure storage of case files and restricted handling of client documents. No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is entirely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use caution when sending sensitive material by unencrypted email.

Data Retention

We retain client files and related records for as long as necessary to provide our services and thereafter for the period required to meet our professional, regulatory, tax and limitation-related obligations, after which they are securely destroyed or archived. Enquiries that do not proceed to an engagement are retained only for as long as needed to complete conflict checks and respond to you.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law and to our professional obligations, you may:

  • Ask what personal information we hold about you and request a copy.
  • Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Ask us to delete information, where we are not required to retain it.
  • Object to or ask us to restrict certain uses of your information.
  • Withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time, by using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.

Some of these rights are limited where the information forms part of a client file we are obliged to retain, or where acting on the request would prejudice a legal proceeding.
