These Website Terms of Use (“Terms“) govern your access to and use of the website operated by Of Counsel Limited (“Of Counsel“, “we“, “us“, “our“), including all pages, sub-domains and content made available on it (the “Site“).
By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use the Site.
These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which explain how we handle personal data and cookies and form part of these Terms by reference.

Any such engagement is governed by separate terms of business agreed directly between the relevant parties.

Of Counsel is a people business, not a law firm.
Of Counsel does not provide legal advice and is not authorised or regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
Nothing on the Site constitutes legal advice, and nothing on the Site should be relied upon as such. The Site exists to introduce experienced, independent lawyers to businesses that may wish to engage them. Any legal advice given in connection with an engagement is given by the relevant Counsel, acting in their own individual professional capacity (or through their own regulated practice, where applicable) and not by Of Counsel. You should always seek advice suited to your specific circumstances from a suitably qualified and regulated legal professional before acting, or refraining from acting, on any matter.
In these Terms:
“Content” means all text, images, testimonials, profiles, artwork, graphics, logos and other material made available on the Site, whether provided by us, by Counsel, by Client Businesses or by other third parties.
“Counsel” means the independent lawyers featured within the Of Counsel network.
“Client Business” means a business that engages, or is considering engaging, Counsel from the Of Counsel ‘bench’.
“User“, “you” and “your” mean any person accessing or using the Site.
You may use the Site for lawful purposes only, and in a way that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use and enjoyment of the Site by, any third party.
You must not:
We may suspend or restrict your access to the Site, without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms.
The Site may feature testimonials and case studies from businesses we have worked with. These reflect the genuine views and experiences of the individuals or businesses named (or, where preferred, anonymised or attributed by initials or sector only), given with their consent.
Testimonials are personal opinions and experiences. They are not a guarantee of the outcome, quality, timing or cost of any future engagement, and individual experiences may vary. Testimonials should not be treated as an endorsement that any particular outcome will be replicated for any other Client Business.
If you have provided a testimonial and wish to have it amended or removed, please contact us at hello@ofcounsel.co.uk.
The Site includes profiles of individual members of Counsel, summarising their professional background, qualifications and areas of expertise. These profiles are provided for general information only.
Inclusion of a profile on the Site does not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, guarantee or warranty by Of Counsel as to the suitability, availability, competence or regulatory standing of any individual for any particular matter. While we carry out onboarding checks on members of Counsel (as described in our Privacy Policy), profile content, including experience, qualifications and rates, is provided substantially on a self-reported basis, and Client Businesses should carry out their own due diligence before engaging any Counsel, including verifying current professional registration and insurance where relevant.
Nothing on a Counsel profile constitutes an offer capable of acceptance. Any engagement of Counsel is subject to separate terms agreed directly between the relevant parties.
The Site includes information about the Of Counsel team and growth board, including names, roles and biographical information. This information is provided for general informational purposes and to help Users understand who is behind Of Counsel. It does not constitute professional advice or a representation as to the involvement of any named individual in a specific engagement.
Except as set out in Section 10 below, all Content on the Site, including text, graphics, logos, the Of Counsel name and branding, and the design and layout of the Site, is owned by or licensed to Of Counsel and is protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws.
You may view, download and print extracts of the Site for your own personal, non-commercial use, provided you do not modify the Content and you retain any copyright and other proprietary notices. No other use of Content is permitted without our prior written consent.
Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.

Subject to the above, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Of Counsel shall not be liable to any User for any indirect or consequential loss, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, contracts, anticipated savings, data or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with the use of, or inability to use, the Site, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, even if foreseeable.
We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on any testimonial, Counsel profile, or other Content on the Site, or from any engagement entered into with Counsel or a Client Business, which shall be governed by the separate terms agreed between the relevant parties.
You agree to indemnify and hold Of Counsel harmless against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
Our use of personal data collected through the Site, and our use of cookies and similar technologies, are described in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, both available on the Site and incorporated into these Terms by reference.
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the Site, or applicable law. The updated version will be posted on the Site with a revised “Last updated” date.
