9. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, provide services, maintain records, comply with legal and professional obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our rights.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the matter, legal requirements, and professional obligations applicable to law firms.
