In the course of providing clients with advice on financial and related matters, Shumway Van may receive personal financial information from clients. In addition, Shumway Van may assemble and maintain information relating to the services provided. The information that Shumway Van may assemble and maintain may be obtained from the client, created as a result of the services provided, or received from third parties. If you were, are or become a client of Shumway Van, you should know that all information that our firm receives from a client is held in confidence, and is not released to people outside the firm, except as agreed to by the client, or as allowed or required under applicable law and the rules of professional conduct governing the provision of legal services.
For clients of Shumway Van, our firm will retain records relating to the services that Shumway Van provides so that our attorneys will be better able to assist clients with their needs, and in some cases, to comply with professional standards. In order to protect client’s nonpublic personal information or the nonpublic information of business entities, Shumway Van maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with professional standards and generally exceed the requirements imposed under federal law.

Thereafter, those files may be purged, placed in storage, or returned to the client. Shumway Van may retain copies of files. Files retained by Shumway Van after completion of a matter are not retained or marked for destruction in accordance with our policies. Inactive files are maintained until Shumway Van determines that those files are no longer useful in rendering legal services to the relevant, or are not otherwise required in connection with our role as legal counsel.
