Disclaimer
Last updated: May 10, 2026
This page sets out important disclaimers about the content of counsel-and-code.com (“the Site”).
Not legal advice
The Site contains commentary, opinion, and observations about AI tools and legal practice. Nothing on this Site constitutes legal advice or legal opinion. Specifically:
- Articles describe how AI tools work in legal contexts, but their applicability to your situation depends on facts the author does not know.
- Discussions of laws, regulations, ethical rules, and professional obligations are general in nature and may not reflect the current law in your jurisdiction.
- Reading articles on this Site does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the author.
If you need legal advice, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
Author identity
The Site is written under the pen name “Ross Marlow.” The author is a practicing corporate lawyer, but the writing on this Site reflects personal views, not the views of any law firm, client, or organization the author is affiliated with.
The author uses a pen name to allow for honest commentary on legal-industry topics that would be difficult to discuss under the author’s real name. Articles describe real patterns and observations from legal practice, but identifying details have been changed or anonymized to protect client confidentiality.
AI tool reviews
Reviews of AI tools on this Site reflect the author’s personal experience. Tools change frequently. A tool that worked well at the time an article was written may have changed substantially by the time you read the article. Pricing, features, and policies described may be out of date.
The author has no commercial relationship with any AI tool vendor unless explicitly disclosed in a specific article. The author pays for the tools reviewed using personal funds. No vendor has paid for placement on this Site, and the author does not accept sponsored content.
Use of AI in producing this content
Articles on this Site are researched, drafted, and edited by a human author. The author uses AI tools (including Claude and similar models) as part of the writing workflow, in the same way the author would use a thesaurus, a search engine, or a research assistant. The final substance, judgment, and editorial decisions are the author’s.
When the author quotes or summarizes work from other sources, attribution is provided.
Affiliate and advertising disclosure
If and when the Site contains affiliate links or displays advertising (such as Google AdSense), the author will disclose this. Advertising and affiliate revenue do not influence editorial content.
As of the last update of this page, the Site does not contain affiliate links and may or may not display advertising depending on configuration.
Errors
If you spot a factual error in an article, please email [email protected]. The author corrects errors promptly when they are pointed out.
