Syndicate Legal Advisory Services will be “our file”. Please have “your file” available during any in-person meeting / video conferences / teleconferences so that all parties have the necessary information available to them. Once Syndicate Legal Advisory Services has completed the services, Syndicate Legal Advisory Services will close the file and return any original documents to the Primary Party. Syndicate Legal Advisory Services will then store the file for approximately six (6) years. Syndicate Legal Advisory Services will destroy the file after that period of time unless the Primary Party instructs Syndicate Legal Advisory Services in writing to keep the file longer.

The Primary Party may terminate any of the Services at any time with or without cause by notifying Syndicate Legal Advisory Services in writing, by an email to STEVE@STEVEMUELLERLEGAL.COM, of the Primary Party’s desire to do so. Upon receipt of the notice to terminate select services, Syndicate Legal Advisory Services will stop all services work on the Client’s behalf immediately. Syndicate Legal Advisory Services will deduct all hours for services rendered to the Client before the date of written notice of termination was received by Syndicate Legal Advisory Services. 

If the Primary Party terminates any services prior to the completion of the services, and the Primary Party / Client has paid an additional hours agreement, Syndicate Legal Advisory Services will be entitled to collect a reasonable fee for the work Syndicate Legal Advisory Services has performed, based upon the amount of time required, the complexity of the matter, the time frame within which the work must be performed, experience, ability, the responsibility involved and the percentage of completion of the services.

Arbitration: Under the Arbitration Provision contained in the Syndicate Legal Advisory Services' (the "Company") Bylaws, either party may, at its sole election, require that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a claim be final and binding arbitration. The Company has not determined whether it will exercise its right to demand arbitration but reserves the right to make that determination on a case-by-case basis as claims arise. In this regard, the Arbitration Provision is similar to a binding arbitration provision as the Company is likely to invoke the Arbitration Provision to the fullest extent permissible. The Arbitration Provision applies to any all claims that are related to the Company, including with respect to the services offered on this website.

Any arbitration brought pursuant to the Arbitration Provision must be conducted in the State of California, in the County of Los Angeles. The term "Claim" as used in the Arbitration Provision is very broad and includes any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving a client or consumer, on the one hand, and the Company (or persons claiming through or connected with the Company), on the other hand, relating to or arising out of any legal services provided by the Company, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing, including (except an individual Claim that a client may bring in Small Claims Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court) the validity or enforceability of the Arbitration Provision, any part thereof. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims include (without limitation) matters arising as initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. The scope of the Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that will permit it to be enforceable. The Company believes that the Arbitration Provision is enforceable under Federal Law, the Laws of the State of California, or under any other applicable laws or regulations. However, the issue of enforceability is not free from doubt and to the extent that one or more of the provisions in the Company’s Bylaws with respect to the Arbitration Provision or otherwise requiring a Client to waive certain rights were to be found by a court to be unenforceable, the Company would abide by such decision.
