Marketplace model. LegalHusk operates an online technology marketplace where Clients and independent Professionals meet, communicate, form direct engagements, and work toward the successful completion of Professional Services. LegalHusk facilitates marketplace access, administrative workflows, communications, records, support, and payment administration through third party providers. LegalHusk does not provide Professional Services, is not a law firm, does not employ or supervise Professionals, is not a party to Client and Professional engagements, and does not guarantee any legal, financial, commercial, or other result.
Verification limitation. A LegalHusk verification indicator reports selected information checked against specified evidence on a stated date. It is not an endorsement, continuous monitoring promise, competence guarantee, insurance guarantee, or prediction of outcome.
1. Purpose
This Policy explains eligibility, identity, credential, listing, and continuing verification requirements for Professionals. It also explains what Clients should and should not infer from a profile indicator.
LegalHusk may apply stricter or additional checks by profession, jurisdiction, service category, payment risk, complaint history, or law.
2. Professionals Covered
This Policy applies to lawyers, attorneys, law firms, paralegals, legal technicians, document assistants, consultants, foreign legal professionals, and other persons or entities seeking to offer services through LegalHusk.
A Professional must select the correct category. Use of the word lawyer, attorney, counsel, firm, specialist, certified, regulated, or equivalent must be legally accurate in every language and location where displayed.
3. Identity and Business Verification
LegalHusk may require:
- legal name, date of birth, photograph, government issued identity evidence, and live identity verification;
- business name, entity type, registration number, ownership, beneficial ownership, and authority to act;
- physical business contact information for internal compliance even if only general location is publicly displayed;
- verified email, telephone, payment account, tax information, and bank ownership;
- sanctions, fraud, impersonation, and public record screening; and
- additional documents reasonably needed to resolve discrepancies.
LegalHusk may use authorized identity and compliance providers. Information is handled under the Privacy Notice.
4. Professional Credential Verification
For a regulated Professional, LegalHusk may check the issuing authority, license or registration number, admission or registration date, current status, public discipline, practice restrictions, authorized title, and public contact details.
The Professional must provide every jurisdiction in which the Professional is admitted, registered, authorized, inactive, suspended, restricted, or otherwise regulated when relevant to Platform activity. A credential in one jurisdiction does not authorize service in another.
LegalHusk may contact the regulator or require a recent certificate of good standing. LegalHusk may decline a credential that cannot be independently confirmed.
5. Discipline and Regulatory History
The Professional must disclose public discipline, suspension, restriction, disbarment, revocation, undertakings, conditions, or similar action required by LegalHusk or law. The Professional must answer accurately and provide context or official records when requested.
LegalHusk may consider recency, seriousness, relevance, remediation, current restrictions, regulator status, Client safety, and legal obligations. Disclosure does not guarantee approval. LegalHusk may restrict service categories or require additional safeguards.
LegalHusk does not make a private disciplinary finding. It may rely on official public records and may state the source and date.
6. Service Jurisdiction Review
The Professional must identify where each service may lawfully be offered. LegalHusk may require the Professional to map service category to country, state, province, court, agency, or regulated field.
LegalHusk may disable a jurisdiction, service, or Client type if lawful authority cannot reasonably be established. Platform availability worldwide does not mean that every Professional may serve every Client worldwide.
The Professional must reassess authorization for every inquiry because the Client's location, matter location, applicable law, tribunal, and service type may create different rules.
7. Nonlawyer Verification and Supervision
A nonlawyer must identify the precise services offered and the legal basis for independent provision. If supervision is required, LegalHusk may require:
- identity and credential of the supervising lawyer or firm;
- written confirmation of the supervisory relationship;
- jurisdictions and service categories covered;
- responsibility for conflicts, confidentiality, work review, Client communications, and fees; and
- immediate notice of any change or termination.
LegalHusk may display the supervising lawyer or firm and may pause a listing when supervision cannot be confirmed.
8. Insurance Status
LegalHusk may request the insurer, policy period, coverage type, limit, insured name, and evidence of professional liability or other insurance. Insurance requirements may vary by jurisdiction and service.
An insurance indicator means only that evidence was reviewed for the displayed period. It does not establish that a particular service, claim, territory, person, or loss is covered. Clients should ask the Professional for current information when insurance is material.
The Professional must report cancellation, nonrenewal, material reduction, or other change affecting an active listing.
9. Profile Accuracy
Profile information must be truthful, current, complete, substantiated, and not misleading. This includes name, title, credentials, firm, location, languages, experience, practice areas, service jurisdictions, staff, availability, fees, outcomes, awards, publications, insurance, and portfolio material.
The Professional may not:
- guarantee results or create unjustified expectations;
- claim specialist, expert, certified, best, leading, or equivalent status without lawful and objective support;
- conceal discipline, limitations, supervision, outsourcing, or material service conditions;
- use another person's identity, work, reviews, or credentials; or
- imply LegalHusk, government, regulator, or bar endorsement.
10. Verification Indicators
LegalHusk may display an indicator such as identity checked, credential checked, insurance evidence reviewed, or Order verified. The indicator should identify the category, source type, date, and material limit where practical.
No indicator means recommended, continuously monitored, suitable for a particular matter, free from complaints, insured for every claim, or guaranteed. A Client should verify credentials directly with the relevant official authority before engagement.
11. Renewal and Monitoring
LegalHusk may require periodic renewal and may check public sources between renewals. Frequency may depend on profession, jurisdiction, source availability, risk, and law. LegalHusk does not promise continuous monitoring.
The Professional has an independent and immediate duty to report material changes. A delayed Platform update does not permit the Professional to continue an unlawful listing.
12. Client Due Diligence
Before engagement, a Client should consider the Professional's identity, credential, service jurisdiction, experience, language, availability, fee, scope, discipline record, insurance, supervision, communication, and ability to meet deadlines.
The Client should use the official regulator's website and should ask questions relevant to the matter. Search ranking or a verification indicator should not replace independent selection.
13. Sponsored Placement and Ranking
Paid placement will be labeled as sponsored or promoted. Payment for placement does not change the verification standard and does not mean recommendation or better competence.
Search may consider jurisdiction, service category, language, availability, price information, responsiveness, completed Orders, review history, Client filters, and other Platform signals. LegalHusk may restrict factors where advertising or referral rules require it.
14. Review of Concerns
LegalHusk may request information, recheck a source, contact an authority, place an indicator under review, limit visibility, pause new Orders, or suspend a profile after a credible concern. The Professional must cooperate without misleading or obstructing the review.
When reasonable and lawful, LegalHusk will provide notice and an opportunity to respond. Immediate action may be taken where delay could create unauthorized practice, fraud, deadline, payment, confidentiality, safety, or regulatory risk.
15. Denial, Restriction, Suspension, and Removal
LegalHusk may deny or restrict a listing for unverifiable identity, false information, credential problems, unauthorized service, inadequate supervision, sanctions risk, fraud, serious complaint history, unsafe conduct, payment ineligibility, legal obligation, or breach of Platform rules.
Approval, denial, or removal is a Platform eligibility decision and not a professional disciplinary determination. LegalHusk may report suspected unlawful conduct where required or permitted.
16. Appeal
A Professional may request review within fourteen calendar days by identifying a material factual error, official updated record, or evidence that was not reasonably available. LegalHusk may require identity verification and may maintain restrictions during review.
A different reviewer should consider the request where practicable. LegalHusk may affirm, modify, or reverse the decision. A final Platform decision does not limit rights before a regulator or court.
17. Records and Privacy
LegalHusk may retain verification records, source results, communications, decisions, and changes for Platform safety, fraud prevention, legal compliance, regulator cooperation, dispute handling, and claims. Access is limited as described in the Privacy Notice.
Public display will generally be narrower than internal verification records. LegalHusk may disclose information when directed by the Professional, required by law, or reasonably necessary to protect Users and the Platform.
18. Contact
Verification questions or correction requests may be sent to [email protected]. The Professional should identify the profile and credential involved.
