Terms of Use

Last updated: 29 August 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Practising Law website at www.practisinglaw.com.au(the “Site”) — a free resource of how-to guides, articles and a newsletter for junior lawyers.

The Site is operated by Practising Law LLC, a limited liability company registered in the Sharjah Media City Free Zone (Shams), Emirate of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (Licence No. 2646736.01), with its registered address at Shams Business Center, Sharjah Media City Free Zone, Al Messaned, Sharjah, UAE (“we”, “us”, “our”).

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

The Site links to our separate products — the Junior Lawyer's Field Guide and the member library — which are provided under their own separate terms and privacy policy. These Terms do not govern those products.

1. Important notice — this is not legal advice

The Site provides general educational and informational content about legal practice, skills and professional development. It is not legal advice and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer admitted in your jurisdiction.

• Nothing on the Site creates a solicitor–client (or attorney–client) relationship between you and us, or between you and Jason Feng personally.
• The content is general in nature, may not reflect the current law of your jurisdiction, and may not be appropriate for your specific circumstances.
• You must exercise your own professional judgement and, where appropriate, obtain independent legal advice before acting or relying on any content.
• We are not responsible for any decision you make, or action you take or don't take, in reliance on the Site.

2. Using the Site

2.1 You may access and use the Site for your own personal, professional and non-commercial use, in accordance with these Terms.

2.2 You must not, and must not permit anyone else to:

• use the Site unlawfully or in a way that infringes anyone's rights;
• interfere with or disrupt the Site, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to it or any system connected to it;
• use automated means (scraping, bots, bulk downloading or extraction) to copy or harvest content from the Site; or
• introduce any malware or do anything that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.

3. Intellectual property

3.1 All content on the Site — including guides, articles, text, graphics, the Site design, and the “Practising Law” name and branding — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

3.2 You may read the content and share links to it. Where we make materials available for download, you may download them and adapt them for use in your own legal work.

3.3 You must not, and must not permit anyone else to:

• reproduce or republish the content, in whole or in substantial part, on any other platform;
• resell, sublicense, rent, lend or otherwise commercialise the content;
• remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices; or
• use the content to build, train or populate a competing product or dataset.

4. Newsletter

4.1 You can subscribe to our free newsletter using your email address. By subscribing you agree to receive the newsletter and occasional related emails from us.

4.2 You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, or by emailing us at jason@practisinglaw.com.au. How we handle your email address is described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Sponsored content and third-party links

5.1 Some guides feature sponsors, and the Site may contain sponsored or affiliate links. Where content is sponsored, it is identified as such, and we may receive a fee or other benefit. Sponsorship does not change the editorial substance of a guide.

5.2 The Site contains links to third-party websites and services that we do not control or endorse. We are not responsible for their content, products or practices, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.

6. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

6.1 The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties, whether express or implied, including as to accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

6.2 We do not warrant that the content is current, complete or applicable to your jurisdiction or circumstances (see clause 1).

6.3 To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill or opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site.

6.4 To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Site and these Terms is limited to AUD 100.

6.5 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law (see clause 8).

7. Changes to the Site and these Terms

7.1 We may add to, change, suspend or withdraw the Site or any content at any time, for operational, legal or security reasons.

7.2 We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes apply from the date they are posted, shown by the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Site after that date means you accept the updated Terms.

8. Consumers and mandatory local law

8.1 If you are a consumer, you may have rights under the mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country where you live that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified by contract. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies those rights, and where a term would do so it applies only to the extent permitted by that law.

9. Governing law and disputes

9.1 These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or the Site, are governed by the federal laws of the United Arab Emirates as applied in the Emirate of Sharjah, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

9.2 The courts of the Emirate of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute.

9.3 Clauses 9.1 and 9.2 do not deprive you, as a consumer, of the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live (see clause 8), or of the right (where the law gives it) to bring proceedings in your local courts.

10. General

10.1 Severability. If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.

10.2 No waiver. A failure to enforce a term is not a waiver of it.
