Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 13, 2026

SLG LLP and its related entities (“SLG”, “we”, “us” or “our”) are committed to protecting the privacy, accuracy, and security of personal information in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy legislation. This Privacy Policy sets out the principles and practices that govern our handling of personal information in the course of providing legal services and operating our business.

Consent

By providing personal information to SLG LLP, whether directly or through our service providers and agents, you acknowledge and agree that we may collect, use, and disclose such information as described in this Privacy Policy and as permitted or required by law. Subject to legal, regulatory, and contractual restrictions, you may withdraw or modify your consent to certain uses or disclosures of your personal information by contacting us; however, doing so may affect our ability to represent you or to continue to provide you with certain services or information, and may result in the termination of our retainer or services. Certain collection, use, and disclosure of personal information is necessary for us to fulfill our professional and legal obligations, and withdrawal of consent for such necessary purposes may make it impossible for us to continue our representation or services. Where you provide personal information about another individual, you represent and warrant that you have the authority and any necessary consent to permit us to collect, use, and disclose that information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

Personal Information We Collect

“Personal information” generally means information about an identifiable individual, as defined in applicable privacy legislation. For the purposes of this Policy, personal information does not ordinarily include basic business contact details, such as your name, title, business address, or business telephone number when used for business communications.

The personal information we may collect includes, without limitation, your name, home address, telephone number, personal email address, billing and account information, and information relating to legal matters in which we are involved. In providing legal services, we may also collect personal information about third parties, such as family members, beneficiaries, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, business partners, adverse parties, parties of interest, witnesses, investigators, experts, decision‑makers, and other individuals connected to a client’s affairs.

Purposes for Collection, Use, and Disclosure

In general, SLG LLP collects, uses, and discloses personal information in order to provide legal and related services and to manage our professional and business relationships. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we may collect, use, and disclose personal information for purposes that include:

  • establishing, managing, and enhancing client relationships, providing legal advice, performing legal and ancillary services, meeting our professional responsibilities, and conducting conflict checks;

  • communicating with clients and other parties in connection with legal mandates and business dealings;

  • sharing personal information with third parties, where appropriate, for the provision of legal services, including opposing and related parties, other counsel and professional advisors, witnesses, experts, courts, tribunals, regulators, governmental and quasi‑governmental authorities;

  • assessing whether to enter into or continue business relationships with clients, suppliers, and other third parties, including evaluating creditworthiness and verifying identity;

  • administering our relationships with clients, suppliers, and other parties, including opening files, invoicing, processing and collecting payments, and satisfying contractual obligations;

  • understanding and responding to client, supplier, and other stakeholder needs and preferences, and conducting evaluations, research, and internal analytics;

  • developing, managing, and improving our services, precedents, and knowledge‑management systems, as well as the operation and governance of our firm;

  • marketing and promoting SLG LLP’s services, including sending legal updates, publications, invitations, and other communications which you may unsubscribe from at any time;

  • protecting SLG LLP and others against error, negligence, breach of contract, fraud, theft, and other unlawful or inappropriate activity, and monitoring compliance with our policies and legal obligations;

  • facilitating or completing business transactions involving SLG LLP, such as mergers, acquisitions, financings, reorganizations, or other corporate transactions, subject to legal and professional duties;

  • complying with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, regulatory requirements, and professional obligations; and

  • any other purpose to which you consent or which is otherwise permitted or required by law, including the use of technology tools, automated systems, or artificial intelligence to assist in the delivery of legal services and the operation of our practice.

Disclosure of Personal Information

SLG LLP may disclose personal information to third parties in connection with the purposes described above. Such third parties may include service providers engaged to perform functions on our behalf, such as data hosting, document management, IT support, marketing, and office and administrative services, who are required by contract to protect personal information and to use it only for the purposes of assisting us.

We may also disclose personal information to other legal counsel and advisors, courts and tribunals, experts, witnesses, regulators, law societies, insurers, and governmental or quasi‑governmental authorities where necessary for the conduct of a matter or as required or authorized by law. In addition, we may disclose personal information to financial institutions or third parties in connection with payment arrangements, financing, or the assignment of receivables, subject to confidentiality obligations. We may also disclose personal information to any party where you have provided your consent or where disclosure is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

Storage, Security, and Retention

Personal information in our custody or under our control is stored in secure locations and on secure systems, including servers operated by SLG LLP or its service providers, which may be located within or outside of Canada. We use administrative, physical, and technological safeguards that are appropriate to the sensitivity of the information to protect against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.

We retain personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations, including our obligations to maintain records. When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely destroy, delete, or anonymize it, unless we are required or permitted by law to retain it.

Access to and Correction of Personal Information

Subject to limited exceptions under applicable law, you have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections to that information if it is inaccurate or incomplete. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections and may charge a reasonable fee where permitted by law, with advance notice.

Requests for access or correction should be made in writing using the contact information provided below. We will respond to such requests within a reasonable period of time and in accordance with applicable privacy legislation.
