Terms of Use
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Akers+Melder website, including the secure client area and electronic-signature features. By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
No Legal Advice; No Attorney–Client Relationship
The information on this site is provided for general informational purposes only and is not legal advice. Viewing this site, contacting the firm, or submitting information through it does not create an attorney–client relationship. An attorney–client relationship is formed only by a written engagement agreement signed by the firm. Please do not send confidential information through this site until such a relationship has been established.
Client Portal and Electronic Signatures
Portions of this site are available only to firm clients and personnel and are protected by email-based sign-in. You are responsible for maintaining control of the email account you use to sign in and for all activity that occurs under it. Documents presented for electronic signature are provided through third-party e-signature services (such as DocuSign and Adobe Acrobat Sign); by signing electronically you consent to conduct these transactions electronically, and you agree that your electronic signature has the same effect as a handwritten signature. If you prefer to sign on paper, contact your attorney.
