It is your responsibility to make any necessary and updated changes to the information on your LegaMart account.

 2. Service Process

 LegaMart acts only as a service for the online platform provision and does not provide any substantive legal services whatsoever. The legal consultation from the home page, is only an instant communication with a paralegal to determine your ways forward which never create any sort of lawyer/client privilege and devised to ease any further communication between the client and service providers. Services are not provided by LegaMart and are solely conducted by Legal Service Providers.. On the platform, the applicant can describe his or her facts and details (Applicant request) and independently decide upon the legal advice he or she prefers to accept. LegaMart team will assess the client’s request and help them to make their mind and also find the best talent or solution that matches their needs. Such details may include personal information and other confidential details about a potential case which could be highly confidential. In providing these details, you authorise LegaMart to share the details with LegaMart's Legal Service Providers to identify the best fit according to the unique algorithm of LegaMart.

 Registered lawyers can submit their quote and also their feedback to any application that is handed to them. LegaMart strives to find a suitable  Legal Service Provider in accordance with your requirements, and we may even make an effort to connect you with law firms as an alternative. Yet, LegaMart does not guarantee any proposal acceptance on behalf of any Legal Service Provider. Upon acceptance of an offer, a contractual relationship is directly concluded between the applicant and the Service Provider.

There is an optional Service Briefing' selection in which the applicant can request for their case to be discussed in detail through chat, call, or email. This option is free of charge and will require more in-depth information and facts relevant to the service request for LegaMart to provide a customised and best-fit match. 

LegaMart may convert the client’s request to a public community. Public community is a unique space designed to answer the questions our clients have. You authorise LegaMart to publish your question in the community by their description through submitting your case. After publishing your question, you would have the opportunity to keep your name or make your question an anonymous one.

You authorise LegaMart to save a copy of the case records and also community posts in their database for a period of 10 years to improve procedures and enhance the level of service.
