Disclaimers

Sending a message through this website, or scheduling a consultation and submitting an intake form, does not create an attorney-client relationship. That relationship is formed only after a consultation, our confirmation that no conflict of interest exists, and the execution of a signed engagement agreement.

Unless you are a client with a signed engagement agreement, no attorney-client privilege exists, and any information transmitted through this website will not constitute confidential information.

Our attorneys practice law only in jurisdictions in which they are properly authorized to do so: Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, and New York. We do not practice in other jurisdictions and do not hold ourselves out as qualified to do so.

Our attorneys are licensed and practice in the states provided in their biographies. We limit our representation to clients in these jurisdictions or requiring legal advice in these jurisdictions. This website is not an advertisement or solicitation.

Commonlight Legal uses AI-assisted tools to support legal research, document drafting, and administrative workflows, but only through platforms with commercial data protection agreements that prohibit use of client information to train AI models and ensure our firm retains end-to-end ownership of all data. We do not use consumer-grade AI tools for client-specific work. We treat AI output the way we treat work from a first-year associate or office administrator: useful input that requires attorney review, judgment, often substantial revision, and accountability before it becomes advice. Consistent with our ethical obligations, which we read conservatively, AI supplements our analysis, it does not replace it.

Any tax-related advice featured on our website should not and cannot be used by a taxpayer to avoid tax penalties or promote, market, or recommend a transaction or matter to another person.

This website is not advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Areas of practice should not be construed as endorsements of specialization by any accreditation entity or service.
