Disclosures

Legal Notice

Spizzirri Law LLC (“Spizzirri Law “we”, “us” and “our”) is a limited liability company registered in the US

We have set out below some additional information which we are obliged to provide to clients (as provided for in our standard Terms of Business).

Professional Indemnity Insurance

Pursuant to the disclosure requirements of the Provision of Services Regulations 2009, our primary layer professional indemnity insurer is ALPS. 111 N. Higgins, Ste. 600. P.O. Box 9169  Missoula, MT 59807-9169

Financial Services and Markets Act 2000

Any advice which we provide is restricted to legal advice. We do not advise on the merits of financial products or investment transactions. No communication from us should be considered to be an invitation for you to engage in any kind of regulated investment activity.

​

Anti-money laundering

We may require clients to provide documents and information concerning the contracting client entity and related persons, entities or affiliates as set out, in order to comply with relevant anti-money laundering laws and regulations. We may be prevented from carrying out your instructions if we are unable to meet our requirements, which often include verifying the identities of your ultimate beneficial owners.

Where we have reasonable evidence to know or suspect that a transaction involves criminal proceeds, we may be required by law to make a disclosure, of otherwise confidential information, to the National Crime Agency (“NCA”). In this event, and where we have determined that is necessary to make a disclosure, we may not be able to inform you that a disclosure has been made or the reasons for it, and we may in such circumstances have to cease acting for you. We will tell you about any potential money laundering problem and explain what actions we may need to take but only where the law permits us to do so. We shall have no liability to you in relation to our duties to comply with such legislation.

Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013

If you have instructed us as an individual to act for you in your personal capacity (not in any business or professional capacity), under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have a 14-day cooling-off period during which you may decide to cancel your contract with us. If you expect us to provide advice and services during that 14-day period but also wish to cancel your contract during that period, you agree that you will be liable for any fees or expenses chargeable for legal advice and services incurred up to and including the date of cancellation. If you would like further information, including a template cancellation form, please contact us. Alternatively, any request to cancel your contract for the supply of our legal services in respect of your matter should be provided to us clearly in writing to the attention of the person with whom you are working or corresponding without delay.

Anti-bribery and corruption

It is our policy to always act in accordance with the highest professional, ethical and business standards, and we expect the same from our clients and their related persons, entities or affiliates. We have a zero-tolerance approach to bribery or corruption and you agree not to expect or request any conduct from us that might bring our name into disrepute or compromise our integrity and independence and that you or your related persons, entities or affiliates will refrain from any practices involving bribery or any other corrupt activities.

Inside information

You are responsible for notifying us if you are providing us with information, or if we will be acting for you on matters, which constitute “inside information” in relation to your business. Upon such notification, we will maintain a list of persons employed by us who are acting on your behalf in connection with such a matter and who have access to relevant inside information.

We will take measures to ensure that every person is aware of their duties and the sanctions relating to the misuse or improper disclosure of inside information. You may ask us for a copy of the list at any time within five years from the date upon which the information ceases to be inside information. 

Client audit and reference requests

Whilst we are not obliged to, we may at our discretion, respond to reasonable requests for information from a corporate client’s auditors if the directors of the company authorize us in writing to do so.

Any response we provide will be in accordance with the Law Society’s guidelines for dealing with audit letters. We will confirm the amount of any costs and expenses which are due to us, whether we are holding documents and, if so, whether they are held by us as security for our own costs. Non-specific enquires as to our awareness or otherwise of contingent liabilities or litigation or breach or potential breach of regulations and rules relating to the client’s business will not be answered. Where the directors have in writing estimated the amount of such liabilities on a specific matter in respect of which we are instructed, we may be prepared to comment upon the directors’ estimate if the directors so request. The time we spend responding to an audit letter will be charged at the appropriate hourly rate. We do not provide bank or other references.

Diversity Statement
Spizzirri Law LLC  is committed to creating an environment in which equality of opportunity is a reality for all members of our staff and lawyers where all individuals are able to make best use of their skills, free from discrimination or harassment, and where all decisions are based on merit. We have recently carried out an equality and diversity survey of our employees and from the anonymous data that has been provided by them (employees are free to decline to complete the survey or to choose “prefer not to say”) we have been able to conclude that they fall into the various protected characteristic types as defined by the Equality Act 2010 (sex, age, race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, etc.). Due to the risk of employees being identified through their anonymous data and reference to their staff profiles on our website we are unable to publish more specific details without breaching the Data Protection Act 2018.
