Contact and identification data — your name, email address, phone number, and country of residence, submitted voluntarily through our inquiry or contact form.
Communication data — the content of messages, enquiries, or correspondence you send to us via the website or by email.
Usage data — technical information collected automatically when you visit our website, including IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time of access. This data is collected via cookies and similar technologies (see Section 8).
We do not collect special categories of sensitive personal data (such as health data, political opinions, or biometric data) through this website.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data on the following legal bases under Article 6 GDPR:
Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — to respond to enquiries, manage potential client relationships, and maintain the security and functionality of our website.
Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) — where you have given explicit consent, for example by subscribing to communications or accepting non-essential cookies.
Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) — where processing is necessary to comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
Pre-contractual measures (Article 6(1)(b)) — where you have initiated contact with a view to entering into an advisory engagement with the Firm.
5. How We Use Your Personal Data
We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:
To respond to your enquiries and provide the information or services you have requested.
To assess your profile in connection with a potential advisory mandate and to present relevant investment opportunities.
To maintain records of correspondence and interactions as required by applicable professional and legal obligations.
To improve the functionality, content, and user experience of this website.
To comply with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations applicable to the Firm.
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
6. Confidentiality and Professional Privilege
Where an advisory relationship is established, all personal data and communications exchanged in that context are subject to attorney-client privilege and professional confidentiality obligations under applicable law. These obligations exist independently of and in addition to this Privacy Policy.
Enquiries submitted through this website are treated as confidential. However, submission of an enquiry does not of itself create a privileged relationship unless confirmed in writing by the Firm.
7. Sharing of Personal Data
We do not sell, rent, or otherwise commercially disclose your personal data to third parties. We may share your personal data in the following limited circumstances:
Service providers — trusted third-party providers who assist in the operation of this website or our business (such as website hosting, email delivery, or CRM systems), acting strictly as data processors under our instructions and bound by appropriate data processing agreements.
Professional partners — where you have consented or where it is necessary to progress an advisory mandate, we may share relevant data with legal, tax, banking, or due diligence professionals involved in a transaction. All such parties are subject to equivalent confidentiality obligations.
Legal and regulatory authorities — where we are required to disclose data by applicable law, court order, or regulatory authority.
Transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) — including to our UAE partner office — are conducted on the basis of appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, or the adequacy decisions applicable at the time of transfer.
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure its proper functioning and to analyse website traffic. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.
Essential cookies — necessary for the website to operate. These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.
Analytics cookies — used to understand how visitors interact with the website (e.g. pages visited, time on site). We use this data in aggregate, anonymised form only.
You may control cookie preferences through your browser settings or through any cookie consent mechanism presented when you first access this website. Disabling non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the website.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and in accordance with applicable legal and professional obligations.
Enquiry and contact data is retained for a maximum of three (3) years from the date of last contact, unless a formal advisory engagement is established, in which case retention is governed by the terms of that engagement and applicable legal obligations.
Usage and technical data is retained for up to twelve (12) months.
