Phone advice provided through HR Phone Assist is general only and it does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. HR Global Solutions provides no warranty as to its accuracy, reliability or completeness. Before taking any course of action related to any advice provided  you should make your own inquiries and seek independent advice (including the appropriate legal advice) on whether it is suitable for your circumstances.

Legal advice is the advice that a lawyer provides to you about your specific legal matter based on their expertise and experience, such as advising what the legal outcome of a situation might be; recommending that you take certain steps or advising you to refrain from doing something. The initial advice is also offered based on the information provided by you at the time of the call, which may not reflect all the required information or events that may have changed or altered by time or not provided during the initial phone call. Legal advice includes the informal, initial contact you make with a lawyer (such as on our Legal Advice Hotline), as well as advice provided should you become a client.

Prior to becoming a client, the advice provided by this service “Employment Legal Advice Hotline” is in the nature of general comment only and does not give rise to a solicitor/client relationship. However, once you have signed a client agreement or fulfilled other legal requirements, the advice you receive is more formal and is provided as part of your contract with your lawyer.
