Privacy Policy

FB Legal Group respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly, securely and in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored and disclosed when you visit our website, contact us, submit an enquiry or otherwise communicate with FB Legal Group.

1.About FB Legal Group

FB Legal Group operates as an integrated legal and business advisory group.

Depending on the nature of a matter and the relevant jurisdiction, services may be provided, coordinated or supported by the appropriate FB Legal Group entity, professional adviser, licensed lawyer, law firm or independent professional collaboration partner.

Where regulated legal representation is required, such services may be undertaken by appropriately licensed professionals or independent professional entities in accordance with applicable laws and professional regulations.

• Telephone number
• Company or organisation name
• Country or jurisdiction of interest
• Nature of your legal, commercial or advisory enquiry
• Documents or information submitted in connection with an enquiry
• Correspondence and communications with us
• Any other information you choose to provide

We may also collect limited technical information when you use the website, including:

• IP address
• Browser type
• Device information
• Operating system
• Pages visited
• Referral source
• Date and time of access
• Website usage and analytics information

3.How We Use Information

We may use personal information for purposes including:

• Responding to enquiries
• Assessing whether and how we may assist with a matter
• Conducting preliminary conflict or compliance checks where appropriate
• Communicating with prospective and existing clients
• Providing legal, business or advisory services
• Coordinating appropriate professional resources

• Maintaining security and preventing misuse
• Complying with legal, regulatory and professional obligations
• Maintaining business and administrative records

We will not use personal information for purposes materially incompatible with the purpose for which it was provided unless permitted or required by applicable law.

4.Submitting an Enquiry Does Not Create a Client Relationship

Submitting information through this website, by email, telephone, WhatsApp or another communication channel does not by itself create a lawyer-client, adviser-client or other professional relationship.

A formal professional relationship arises only when the relevant engagement has been accepted and the applicable engagement documentation or other formal arrangement has been completed.

Please do not send highly sensitive, privileged or confidential documents before we confirm that we are able to accept and act in relation to your matter.

5.Sharing of Information

Where reasonably necessary, information may be shared with:

• Relevant FB Legal Group entities
• Employees, consultants and professional advisers involved in the matter
• Appropriately licensed lawyers or law firms
• Professional collaboration partners
• Service providers supporting our technology, communications, hosting, administration or business operations
• Government, regulatory, judicial or law-enforcement authorities where required by law
• Other third parties where disclosure is authorised by you or otherwise legally permitted

Where FB Legal Group coordinates a matter with an independent law firm or professional adviser, that professional may process information independently in accordance with its own legal and professional obligations.

6.UAE Professional Collaboration

For certain UAE matters requiring court advocacy or formal representation, FB Legal Group may coordinate with Khadija Alkhanbouli Advocates & Legal Consultancy, a separate and independent UAE-licensed law firm.

FB Legal Group and Khadija Alkhanbouli Advocates & Legal Consultancy are distinct professional entities.

Information will only be shared with such professional collaborators where appropriate for the matter, authorised, or otherwise permitted by applicable law.

7.International and Cross-Border Matters

Some matters may involve more than one jurisdiction.

Where necessary to provide or coordinate services, personal information may be transferred to or accessed by professional advisers or service providers located in other countries.

We take reasonable measures to ensure that information is handled appropriately and in accordance with applicable legal and professional requirements.

8.Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, organisational and technical measures designed to protect personal information against:

• Unauthorised access
• Loss
• Misuse
• Disclosure
• Alteration
• Destruction

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9.Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for:

• The purpose for which it was collected
• Client and matter administration
• Professional record-keeping
• Compliance obligations
• Dispute management
• Legitimate business requirements

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
