This firm will assist you with making filings under the Corporate Trans­parency Act only if you provide us with all required information for the origi­nal filing or any updates on a current and timely basis. We are not responsible for the accuracy of any information provided. We will not have any obligation to continue to advise you of the necessity of these filings. We will not be responsible for being aware of any changes in reported information that may require an updated report to be filed. Further, while we will attempt to keep any personal information confidential, we assume no liability for inadvertent dis­closures or for any hacking or other illegal activities of third parties. We sug­gest that each current and future beneficial owner obtain their own unique FinCEN identifier directly from FinCEN so that the FinCEN identifier, rather than the individual’s personal information, could be furnished for the initial and updated filings. The firm will not represent any individuals who obtain FinCEN identifiers and will not be responsible for advising them of the need to update their personal information.
