1. Acceptance and Scope
These Attorney Network Terms ("Network Terms") apply to
attorneys, law firms, legal practices, and their authorized
representatives that register for, participate in, receive
prospective-client information through, or otherwise use
the Litigation Funding Experts Attorney Network
("Participating Firm" or "Firm").
By submitting a Firm for participation, accepting or
receiving a prospective-client lead or qualified call,
maintaining an active Firm profile, or otherwise
participating in the Attorney Network, the Firm agrees to
these Network Terms, the Litigation Funding Experts
Terms of Use, and
Privacy Policy.
If these Network Terms conflict with the general Terms of
Use regarding a Firm's participation in the Attorney
Network, these Network Terms will control with respect to
that participation.
2. About the Attorney Network
Litigation Funding Experts LLC ("LFE") may provide
marketing, advertising, intake, directory, lead generation,
call-routing, and prospective-client connection services
for participating attorneys and law firms.
LFE may receive inquiries from individuals or businesses
seeking legal representation and may use information such
as practice area, geographic location, stated legal need,
Firm availability, and other intake criteria to identify
participating Firms that may be interested in receiving
the inquiry.
LFE is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice,
legal representation, or legal services.
3. No Recommendation, Endorsement, or Attorney-Client Relationship
Participation in the Attorney Network does not mean that
LFE endorses, recommends, certifies, ranks, or guarantees
any attorney or Firm.
LFE does not independently determine that a particular
attorney is the best attorney for a prospective client's
legal matter. Any connection made through the Attorney
Network is intended to facilitate contact between a
prospective client and a participating Firm based on
information and preferences available to LFE.
No attorney-client relationship is created between a
prospective client and a Firm merely because LFE provides
contact information, routes a call, delivers a lead, or
otherwise facilitates contact.
An attorney-client relationship exists only if and when
the prospective client and Firm independently establish
such a relationship in accordance with applicable law and
the Firm's engagement procedures.
4. Firm Eligibility and Authority
The person submitting a Firm for participation represents
that he or she is authorized to provide the submitted
information and to communicate with LFE concerning the
Firm's participation.
Each Firm is solely responsible for ensuring that its
attorneys are appropriately licensed, authorized, and in
good standing in each jurisdiction in which they provide
legal services.
LFE may request additional information regarding licensing,
bar membership, Firm ownership, contact information,
insurance, or other matters relevant to participation.
LFE may approve, reject, pause, restrict, or terminate a
Firm's participation in the Attorney Network in its
reasonable discretion.
5. Firm Information and Referral Preferences
The Firm agrees to provide accurate and current information
concerning its name, contact information, office location,
geographic coverage, practice areas, intake preferences,
and other information requested by LFE.
The Firm is responsible for promptly notifying LFE when
information relevant to its participation changes,
including changes to:
- Practice areas
- States or geographic areas served
- Attorney licensing or eligibility
- Firm contact information
- Whether the Firm is accepting new matters
- Lead or call preferences
- Commercial terms or approved pricing
LFE may rely on the information provided by the Firm when
determining whether a prospective inquiry appears to match
the Firm's stated preferences.
6. Participation Status
A Firm may be assigned a participation status, including:
-
Pending:
the Firm's submission is under review.
-
Active:
the Firm has been accepted for potential participation
in the Attorney Network.
-
Paused:
delivery of new opportunities is temporarily suspended.
-
Rejected:
the Firm has not been activated for participation.
Active status does not guarantee any minimum number of
leads, calls, prospective clients, signed clients, cases,
fees, or revenue.
7. Prospective-Client Leads
A prospective-client lead may consist of contact
information and non-privileged intake information supplied
by a person seeking potential legal representation.
Unless separately agreed in writing, LFE does not represent
or warrant that a lead:
- Has a meritorious legal claim
- Will retain the Firm
- Will qualify under the Firm's internal standards
- Has accurately described all relevant facts
- Has no conflicts with the Firm
- Will produce legal fees or a recovery
- Will remain available after delivery
The Firm is responsible for conducting its own intake,
conflict check, legal analysis, diligence, engagement
process, and client acceptance decision.
8. Qualified Calls
Where the Firm participates in a qualified-call pricing
model, a potentially billable call may be subject to an
agreed minimum connected-call duration and any additional
qualification criteria applicable to the relevant practice
area or campaign.
Call duration alone does not establish that a caller has a
viable legal matter or should be accepted as a client.
Unless otherwise stated in applicable commercial terms,
qualification may also consider whether the caller:
- Is a genuine prospective client
- Is seeking legal assistance
- Identifies a generally applicable practice area
- Falls within the Firm's stated geographic criteria
- Is not an obvious spam, vendor, or solicitation call
- Is not an identified duplicate under applicable terms
Connected-call duration may be determined using LFE's
telephone, routing, carrier, or service-provider records.
9. Lead and Call Pricing
A Firm may submit proposed pricing for practice areas,
qualified leads, prospective-client connections, or
qualified calls.
Pricing submitted through the website is proposed pricing
only. Submission of a proposed amount does not by itself
require LFE to accept that rate or require LFE to deliver
any opportunity.
Applicable pricing may be established through the Attorney
Network, email confirmation, an order, campaign terms, a
separate agreement, or another written or electronic
confirmation between LFE and the Firm.
Different practice areas, jurisdictions, lead types,
campaigns, or delivery methods may have different pricing.
10. Nature of Network Fees; No Sharing of Legal Fees
Amounts charged by LFE through the Attorney Network are
intended as charges for marketing, advertising, intake,
lead generation, technology, call routing, directory, or
prospective-client connection services, as applicable.
Unless expressly permitted by applicable law and separately
agreed in writing, LFE does not receive a percentage of a
Firm's legal fees, contingency fee, settlement, judgment,
award, client recovery, or other proceeds from a legal
matter.
Network charges are not intended to purchase an endorsement
or recommendation of the Firm's professional qualifications.
If a particular payment model is prohibited or restricted
by the professional rules or law applicable to a Firm or
matter, the Firm must not participate in that model and
must notify LFE.
11. Duplicate, Invalid, and Disputed Leads or Calls
Any duplicate, invalid-lead, call-credit, replacement,
dispute, or adjustment policy applicable to a particular
campaign or pricing arrangement will be determined by the
commercial terms applicable to that arrangement.
The Firm must review delivered opportunities promptly and
raise any billing dispute within the period identified in
the applicable invoice, campaign terms, platform terms, or
other written commercial terms.
Failure to successfully contact a prospective client,
failure to retain the person, or a Firm's decision not to
accept the matter does not automatically make an otherwise
qualifying lead or call invalid.
12. Nonexclusive Opportunities
Unless LFE expressly identifies an opportunity or
arrangement as exclusive, the Firm should assume that
Attorney Network participation is nonexclusive.
LFE may work with multiple attorneys and law firms within
the same practice area or geographic market.
Nothing in these Network Terms prevents a prospective
client from contacting, considering, or retaining another
attorney or Firm.
13. No Guarantee of Lead Volume or Client Retention
LFE does not guarantee any minimum volume of prospective
clients, leads, calls, cases, signed engagements,
recoveries, legal fees, or revenue.
Lead availability may vary based on market conditions,
location, practice area, consumer demand, Firm status,
pricing, intake criteria, advertising activity, and other
factors.
14. Conflicts, Intake, and Engagement Decisions
The Firm is solely responsible for determining whether it
may ethically and legally communicate with, evaluate, or
represent any prospective client.
The Firm is responsible for all conflict checks, statutes
of limitation, deadlines, jurisdictional issues,
engagement letters, fee agreements, disclosures,
withdrawal decisions, and other professional obligations.
LFE does not make legal representation decisions on behalf
of the Firm and has no authority to bind the Firm to
represent any person.
15. Communications With Prospective Clients
Once prospective-client information is delivered to the
Firm, the Firm is responsible for ensuring that its calls,
texts, emails, advertising, intake communications, and
follow-up activities comply with applicable law,
professional rules, consent requirements, and communication
restrictions.
The Firm may use prospective-client information only for
legitimate intake, conflict-checking, communication,
evaluation, and legal-services purposes associated with the
applicable inquiry, unless another use is authorized by
law and appropriate consent.
16. Professional Responsibility and Advertising Compliance
Each Firm remains independently responsible for compliance
with all professional-conduct rules, bar rules,
advertising rules, solicitation rules, referral rules,
fee-sharing restrictions, privacy requirements, and other
laws applicable to the Firm and its attorneys.
Because professional rules vary by jurisdiction, the Firm
is responsible for determining whether participation in a
particular lead, call, pricing, marketing, or advertising
arrangement is permitted in every jurisdiction applicable
to the Firm.
The Firm is also responsible for any filing, retention,
disclaimer, identification, review, or approval requirement
applicable to attorney advertising or communications in its
jurisdiction.
A Firm must promptly notify LFE if it determines that a
particular Attorney Network practice or arrangement may
conflict with rules applicable to that Firm.
17. Call Recording and Quality Review
Calls made through or in connection with the Attorney
Network may be recorded, monitored, transcribed, or
reviewed for intake, quality assurance, compliance,
dispute resolution, fraud prevention, service improvement,
or billing verification where permitted by applicable law.
Each Firm is responsible for complying with any additional
disclosure or consent requirement that applies when the
Firm records, monitors, stores, or uses its own calls or
communications.
18. Prospective-Client Information and Privacy
Prospective-client information may contain personal or
sensitive information. The Firm agrees to maintain
reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational
safeguards appropriate to the information received.
The Firm will not sell, publish, improperly disclose, or
use prospective-client information for unrelated marketing
purposes unless such use is lawful and appropriately
authorized.
LFE's collection and handling of information is further
described in the
Privacy Policy.
19. No Privilege Created by LFE
LFE is not a law firm and does not create or guarantee
attorney-client privilege, work-product protection, or any
other legal confidentiality protection merely by receiving
information from a prospective client or Firm.
Firms should avoid requesting that privileged or highly
sensitive legal information be transmitted through public
LFE forms unless an appropriate process has been
established.
20. Use of Firm Information
The Firm authorizes LFE to use the Firm's submitted name,
office location, contact information, practice areas,
geographic coverage, and related business information as
reasonably necessary to administer the Attorney Network,
facilitate prospective-client connections, communicate
with the Firm, and maintain internal network records.
If LFE later offers a public attorney directory, LFE may
request additional authorization, information, or
verification before publishing a Firm profile.
21. Billing and Payment
If the Firm participates in a paid Attorney Network
arrangement, applicable rates, billing events, payment
methods, dispute periods, credits, and other commercial
terms may be stated in an invoice, campaign description,
order, platform record, email confirmation, or separate
agreement.
The Firm agrees to pay valid and undisputed charges in
accordance with those applicable commercial terms.
LFE may suspend new lead or call delivery for unpaid
balances, payment failures, disputed account information,
or other material billing issues.
22. Suspension and Termination
Either party may request to discontinue future
participation in the Attorney Network, subject to any
outstanding payment obligations or separate written
agreement.
LFE may pause, restrict, or terminate participation,
including where LFE reasonably believes that:
- The Firm provided inaccurate information
- The Firm is no longer eligible to practice
- The Firm is not responding appropriately to prospective clients
- Payment obligations remain unresolved
- Participation presents legal, regulatory, ethical, reputational, or consumer-protection concerns
- The Firm materially violates these Network Terms
Termination does not eliminate obligations or charges
properly incurred before termination.
23. Independent Businesses
LFE and each Participating Firm are independent businesses.
Nothing in these Network Terms creates a partnership, joint
venture, employment relationship, fiduciary relationship,
attorney-client relationship, or agency relationship
between LFE and the Firm.
Neither party has authority to bind the other except as
expressly agreed in writing.
24. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Attorney Network and related services are provided on
an "as is" and "as available" basis to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
LFE does not warrant that every prospective-client inquiry
will be complete, accurate, reachable, suitable,
conflict-free, financially viable, legally meritorious, or
acceptable to the Firm.
LFE does not guarantee any litigation result, legal fee,
client retention, recovery, referral volume, conversion
rate, revenue level, or return on marketing expenditure.
25. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, LFE and its owners,
officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, service
providers, and representatives will not be liable for any
indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary,
or punitive damages arising from or relating to Attorney
Network participation, prospective-client information,
missed or unsuccessful leads, client decisions, legal
matters, call routing, service interruptions, or lost
business opportunities.
Nothing in these Network Terms limits liability where such
limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
26. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Firm agrees to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LFE and its owners,
officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, service
providers, and representatives from claims, liabilities,
losses, damages, costs, and expenses arising from or
relating to:
- The Firm's legal services or professional conduct
- The Firm's communications with a prospective or actual client
- The Firm's violation of professional-conduct or advertising rules
- The Firm's misuse or unauthorized disclosure of prospective-client information
- Information supplied by the Firm that is false, misleading, or unauthorized
- The Firm's violation of these Network Terms
27. Changes to Firm Preferences or Commercial Terms
Firm preferences, practice areas, geographic coverage,
participation status, and commercial terms may be updated
from time to time by agreement or through available
Attorney Network processes.
A change ordinarily applies prospectively and does not
alter valid charges or obligations already incurred unless
LFE expressly agrees otherwise.
28. Changes to These Network Terms
LFE may update these Network Terms from time to time.
Updated terms will be posted on this page with a revised
effective date.
Continued participation after updated Network Terms become
effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Network
Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
29. Governing Law
These Network Terms are governed by the laws of the State
of Nevada, without regard to conflict-of-law principles,
except to the extent another jurisdiction's law or
professional rules necessarily apply to a Participating
Firm or legal service.
