Unless you are an existing client, before communicating with Amer Ali Law Professional Corporation (“Amer Ali Law”) via this website (via the contact form or otherwise), please note that until you have received from us a written statement that we represent you in a particular matter, you should not send to us any confidential information about any such matter. After we have undertaken representation of you concerning a matter, you will be our client, and we may thereafter exchange confidential information freely.
This website is not intended to create a lawyer-client relationship between you and Amer Ali Law. You should not act or rely on information on this website without seeking the advice of a lawyer. We would be pleased to communicate with you concerning legal matters, but we cannot do so until we first know that doing so would not create a conflict of interest. If you are interested in having Amer Ali Law represent you in a legal matter, the best way to initiate possible representation is to contact the firm at (343) 633-5997 or info@ameralilaw.com to speak with a member of our staff.

Amer Ali Law recognizes the importance of privacy and the sensitivity of personal information. As lawyers, we have a professional obligation to keep confidential all information we receive within a lawyer-client relationship. It is a position of trust. We are committed to protecting any personal information we hold.
This policy statement has been prepared to affirm our commitment to maintaining the privacy of our clients and others, and to inform you of our practices concerning the collection, use and disclosure of personal information collected by Amer Ali Law.
A professional relationship develops when Amer Ali Law agrees to be retained to provide services to a particular individual. In order to protect their own interests, individuals should not send confidential information to Amer Ali Law until they have had a direct discussion with a professional at the firm regarding the retention of Amer Ali Law to provide legal services.
All businesses engaged in commercial activities must comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, S.C. 2000, c. 5 (the “Act”), and the Canadian Standards Association Model Code for the protection of personal information, which it incorporates. These obligations extend to lawyers and law firms, including Amer Ali Law. The Act gives you rights concerning the privacy of your personal information.
Our firm collects personal information for the following limited purposes:
Personal information is any information that identifies you, or by which your identity could be deduced. We collect and use your personal information in order to provide you with legal services. Our firm restricts the collection of personal information only to that information that is necessary for the purposes noted above. We are committed to collecting personal information in a fair, open and lawful manner. Wherever possible, we collect your personal information directly from you at the start of a retainer and in the course of our representation.
In most cases, we will ask you to specifically consent if we collect, use or disclose your personal information. Sometimes, your consent may be implied through your conduct with us.
Your provision of personal information to Amer Ali Law means that you agree and consent that we may collect, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree with these terms, you are requested not to provide any personal information to Amer Ali Law. Certain services can only be offered if you provide personal information to Amer Ali Law. Consequently, if you choose not to provide us with any required personal information, Amer Ali Law may not be able to offer you those services.
Some information reaches us before any retainer exists. This section explains what we collect through the website itself, why, and what happens to it.
Inquiry and quote requests. When you use our contact form we collect your name, email address, telephone number if you provide one, the type of matter, the property location, your target closing date, how you heard about us, and whatever you write in the message field. We collect this for one purpose: to review your inquiry, run a conflict check, and respond to you with a quote or with the next steps.
Conflict checking. Every inquiry is screened for conflicts of interest before we respond substantively. This is a professional obligation and it is the reason we ask you not to send documents or confidential details through the form. If a conflict prevents us from acting, we will tell you, and we will not use what you have sent for any other purpose.
Retention of inquiries. Inquiries that become retainers are retained as part of the client file. Inquiries that do not become retainers are retained for seven years, so that we have a record that a conflict check was performed and can respond to any question that may arise about the inquiry. After seven years they are destroyed.
No marketing use. We do not add inquiry contact details to marketing lists, and we do not disclose them to any third party for marketing purposes.
Closing costs calculator. The figures you enter into the calculator are processed in your browser as you use it, and nothing is sent to us unless you ask us to send you the estimate. If you enter your email address and ask for a copy, we use that address to email you the estimate and we send a copy to the firm so that we can follow up. We keep those estimate requests on the same seven-year basis as other inquiries. We do not add the address to any marketing list.
Referral codes and abuse prevention. If you enter a referral code, the code is sent to our server to be checked, and your network address is used briefly to limit repeated attempts on the code checker and the estimate sender. Neither is used to identify you or retained beyond that purpose.
Website analytics. As described below, we may monitor traffic patterns and site usage in aggregate in order to improve the website. This does not identify you individually.
If you subscribe to AAL Insights, our email publication, we collect your email address and, if you choose to provide it, the subscriber type you select. Providing a subscriber type is optional.
We use this information only to send AAL Insights articles, practical transaction guidance and Ontario legal updates. We do not sell, rent or trade subscriber information, and we do not use it to send marketing on behalf of third parties.
Subscriptions use a confirmed opt-in process. After you submit the form, we email you a confirmation link. You are added to the list only when you click it. We record the date and time of your request, the page you subscribed from, the consent wording shown to you and its version, and the date and time you confirmed. We keep that record as evidence of your consent.
Every email includes an unsubscribe link. You may unsubscribe at any time, and we act on unsubscribe requests promptly. You may also email info@ameralilaw.com to be removed.
Subscriber information is stored and emails are delivered using Brevo, our email service provider. Information may be processed on servers outside Canada.
Subscribing to AAL Insights does not create a lawyer-client relationship, and the articles are general information rather than legal advice.
By retaining our firm, you have confirmed your trust in us. We are honoured by this trust and take pride in serving you.
We use your personal information to provide legal advice and services to you and to administer our client time and billing databases. We are obliged for legal purposes to retain our client files after the end of the retainer.
Amer Ali Law does not disclose your personal information to any third party to enable them to market their products and services. For example, we do not provide our client mailing lists to other law firms.
Amer Ali Law may disclose your personal information under certain circumstances, such as:
Amer Ali Law keeps personal information only as long as it is required for the reasons it was collected. The length of time we retain information varies, depending on the service and the nature of the information. This period may extend beyond the end of a person’s relationship with us, but only for so long as it is necessary for us to have sufficient information to respond to any issues that may arise at a later date. When your personal information is no longer required for Amer Ali Law’s purposes, we have procedures to destroy, delete, erase or convert it into an anonymous form.
Our firm has developed and implemented security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information kept by us. We take all reasonable precautions to ensure that your personal information is kept safe from loss, unauthorized access, modification or disclosure. Among the steps taken to protect your information are:
We ensure that any of our employees who deal with personal information are properly trained and are aware of the necessary and appropriate measures required to protect personal information.
Our firm is committed to maintaining accurate, complete and up-to-date personal information. If you are aware of changes to the personal information you have given to us, simply inform us of the changes and we will update our records accordingly.
You should be aware that email is not a fully secure medium. In addition, mail, telephone calls, faxes and transmissions over the internet are all susceptible to possible loss, misrouting, interception and misuse of the information being communicated or transmitted. You should be aware of this when contacting us to send personal or confidential information.
We regularly review all of our policies and procedures and may change them from time to time.
Our website contains links to other sites which are not governed by this Privacy Policy.
On our website, like most other commercial websites, we may monitor traffic patterns, site usage and related site information in order to optimize our web service. We may provide aggregated information to third parties, but these statistics do not include any identifiable personal information.
If you have any questions or requests about the Disclaimer, Terms of Use or our Privacy Policy, please contact us by email at info@ameralilaw.com.
