Latitude® (“the Latitude Group” or “Latitude”) is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation.
The Latitude Group comprises a group of companies that operate and provide services under the brand Latitude®. We use the name “Latitude” to refer to one or more companies within the Latitude Group or all of them together.
The companies in the Latitude Group are separate limited liability companies (LLCs), all of which are partially or wholly owned by Latitude Holding Company LLC (“Latitude Holding Company”). Latitude LLC (“the Company”) is the legal entity that contracts with all clients and customers of the Latitude Group and employs all the employees in the Latitude Group. A separate limited liability company provides designated services to Latitude LLC in each individual market in which the Latitude Group conducts business (“Local Market Entities”).
The President of each State Market Entity is an employee of Latitude LLC and may be appointed to the office of “Partner” of Latitude LLC. However, the title “Partner” does not denote a partner in a partnership or ownership in Latitude LLC. Instead, the title is intended to convey that the Partner is a senior executive who may act on behalf of and bind Latitude LLC with respect to certain matters in his or her capacity as such, and the Partner is also an equity Member of a State Market Entity.
Each entity in the Latitude Group is liable only for its own acts or omissions and not those of Latitude Holding Company, Latitude LLC, or any other entity in the Latitude Group. No entity in the Latitude Group is authorized to contract for or bind any other entity in the Latitude Group.
Latitude is not a law firm and does not engage in the practice of law.
2. Latitude is not engaged in the practice of law, accounting, tax or other such regulated professions.
Latitude is not engaged in the practice of law, accounting, tax, engineering, financial planning, or real estate brokering and does not provide advice or services reserved to those or other professions governed by professional rules, regulations or requirements. Accordingly, Latitude (including this website) does not provide and should not be relied on for professional information or advice. As such, neither Latitude nor this website should be used as a substitute for direct consultation with an attorney, accountant or other competent professional adviser. Information on this website is not intended to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding U.S. tax-related penalties or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any tax-related matter.
Latitude does not provide legal advice to, or represent in any capacity, visitors to our website or our clients (“you” or “clients”). Attorneys (“Attorneys”, and each an “Attorney”) employed and assigned by Latitude provide legal services only under the professional oversight of an in-house or private-practice lawyer for the client who is not employed by Latitude. Each Attorney then provides services independently and individually in a direct attorney-client relationship with the client.
Our attorneys collectively or in groups do not constitute a law firm, partnership or other professional group practice. You should not provide information to Latitude that you want protected by the attorney-client privilege. Any engagement of a Latitude attorney constitutes a direct attorney-client engagement, and the attorney engaged is solely responsible for all legal advice and services provided to the client. Latitude is not responsible for the legal advice or services rendered by any Latitude attorney.
You agree not to hold Latitude responsible for the legal advice and services rendered or not rendered by any Latitude attorney (or other person provided by Latitude) and release and hold harmless Latitude from any and all claims arising therefrom.
3. You are not establishing an attorney-client relationship or attorney-client confidentiality with Latitude.
By accessing this website, or contacting or communicating with Latitude, including without limitation any Latitude employee, officer or member whose contact information is contained on this website, you are not establishing an attorney-client relationship. As a result, you should not communicate information to Latitude (or such persons) that you want to remain confidential or protected by the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine. Any attorney-client relationship between you and an Attorney would be directly between you and the Attorney. Unless otherwise required by law or rules of professional responsibility, an attorney-client relationship between you and an Attorney requires that such relationship has been mutually agreed to in writing by you and the Attorney. Latitude may be required by law to disclose client information under certain circumstances, such as when compelled by court order or legal process. Accordingly, you should communicate sensitive information directly only to an Attorney who represents you.
4. Latitude disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including any warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
Latitude has made efforts to ensure that the information contained in this website or otherwise provided by Latitude (including biographies, qualifications or resumes of Attorneys) is accurate and reliable and that Latitude’s website, data, email and other electronic media are free from defects, viruses or other potentially damaging aspects. HOWEVER, LATITUDE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES FOR ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, OR FOR THE CONSEQUENCES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OR RECEIPT OF THIS WEBSITE, INFORMATION OR OTHER LATITUDE DATA, EMAIL OR OTHER ELECTRONIC MEDIA. ALL INFORMATION IN THIS WEBSITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITH NO GUARANTEE OF COMPLETENESS, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS OR OF THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THIS INFORMATION, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
5. Attorney Advertising — this website and the information it contains is advertising, including portions that may be considered attorney advertising in some jurisdictions.
Portions of this website may contain attorney advertising pursuant to professional rules applicable in some jurisdictions. Latitude does not claim or represent on this website that any Attorney is a specialist or certified specialist in any area of the law as those terms may be defined and/or regulated in any particular jurisdiction, and unless otherwise expressly stated in individual attorney biographies, attorneys are NOT certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, or its equivalent in any state. Attorneys may, however, expressly represent such status and their experience in their biographies which Latitude may communicate to clients in reliance on the Attorney’s duty of candor and other professional responsibilities. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be provided is greater than the quality of the legal services provided by other lawyers. Some photos on this site are of actors and not of clients or company personnel. If this website does not comply with applicable rules in a jurisdiction in which you are viewing this website, Latitude is not seeking to provide services to you. Contact information for Latitude’s ethics counsel is listed in paragraph E below.
