Email disclaimers: Who Are You???
Do you get email from lawyers, consultants and other ‘experts’ with disclaimers in their signatures? I do and seriously dislike them. the text goes something like this:
‘if you are not the intendent recipient of this message please delete it’
In other words…
‘I might be billing you 300 an hour but I have no idea which client of mine you are. I’m too stupid, lazy or ignorant to look who I’m emailing so you might be ‘Bart’ instead of ‘Boris’. Oh, and don’t worry, l will bill you both anyway’
I don’t think they intend to send me THAT message, but that is what I read.
And before you tell me that lawyers MUST use a legal disclaimer I can tell you that my personal favorite lawyer isn’t using one and doesn’t need one. He knows his clients…
