No Legal Advice and No Attorney-Client or Confidential Relationship
Best Practices Solutions LLC (BPS) is not a law firm and does not provide attorneys or legal advice to its customers. As such, communications with BPS and its employees are not protected under any attorney-client privilege or work product privilege. BPS’ business is to document our customers’ existing closing and title policies and procedures as they relate to the “Pillars of Best Practices” suggested by the American Land Title Association. BPS cannot and does not provide any kind of advice, explanation, opinion, or recommendation about possible legal rights, remedies, defenses, available choices, or strategies. If you require legal advice or legal assistance, you must engage the services of an attorney licensed to practice law in your jurisdiction. BPS customers are solely responsible for the accuracy and sufficiency of the information provided to be included in the “Best Practices Manual,” the implementation of the policies and procedures, and the need to periodically review and update the manual and train staff. BPS does not make, and specifically disclaims, any and all representations, warranties, promises, or guaranties of any kind including, without limitation, whether a customer’s policies and procedures or manual prepared by BPS will satisfy: (i) any particular lender’s closing requirements or closing conditions; or (ii) any statute, regulation, rule, guideline, or other law of any federal, state, administrative or regulatory board or agency, or any bar association.
John Primeau, the President of BPS, is a licensed attorney in the state of Florida, but he is not acting as an attorney in his capacity as an owner and employee of BPS. BPS is not affiliated in any way with the Law Firm of John C. Primeau, P.A., and Mr. Primeau does not provide any legal advice to BPS customers on any issues relating to: “best practices” recommended by ALTA; the legal requirements of any state or federal statute, regulation, or other law pertaining to the ALTA “best practices”; or whether a law firm’s or title company’s procedures comply with any state or federal statute, regulation, or other law. This means he is not providing legal advice to any customer of BPS and that no attorney-client privilege or confidentiality shall attach to any communications between any reader of this site (including any customer of BPS) and any employee of BPS, including Mr. Primeau.
The services provided by BPS are not legal in nature. Instead, BPS’ services are limited to creation of a policies and practices manual to document the practices and procedures already being utilized by a BPS customer. If a customer does not have a policy or procedure in place for a particular suggested “best practice,” BPS can provide the customer with copies of publicly available policies or procedures. It is the customer’s sole responsiblity to verify the legality or enforceability of any suggested policy or procedure with the customer’s independent legal counsel licensed in customer’s jurisdiction.
