Before they appear

How we verify attorneys

Every attorney clears each of these checks before their profile ever appears on the marketplace. Only U.S.-admitted attorneys in good standing are approved.

01

Identity check

Each attorney clears a government-ID verification through Persona, so the person behind the profile is who they say they are.

02

Bar license confirmed

LAWCLERK staff confirm the attorney's bar license directly with the issuing jurisdiction. No self-reported credentials.

03

Good standing & U.S. admission

Only U.S.-admitted attorneys in good standing are approved, always. Anyone who does not clear this gate does not get in.

04

Profile published

Once verified, the profile goes live with experience, jurisdictions, focus areas, ratings, past engagements, writing samples, and references on file.

On every profile

What you can see before you hire

Verification is not a black box. Every profile shows you the same facts, so you can choose counsel with confidence.

Verified bar admission

The jurisdictions where the attorney is admitted and in good standing, confirmed with the issuing bar.

Experience & focus areas

Years in practice, practice areas, and the kind of work the attorney takes on.

Ratings, shown as % positive

The share of past engagements that met or exceeded expectations, with those engagements visible on the profile.

Writing samples & references

Writing samples and references on file, so you can judge the work before the first engagement.

Protecting your matters

Client matters, protected end to end

The platform is built to keep confidential client information safe, from the moment you post to the moment the work is delivered.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

All traffic is encrypted in transit with TLS and data is encrypted at rest. Sessions are protected and expire automatically.

Role-based, logged access

Internal access to customer data is role-based, logged, and limited to what support actually requires.

Conflict checks before work begins

Conflict checks run before any work begins, so engagements start on clean footing.

Confidentiality on every engagement

Confidentiality agreements are part of every engagement between a firm and its counsel.

Supervision & ethics

Supervision keeps it ethically sound

Verification confirms who the attorney is. Supervision is what keeps the engagement ethical. Because the hiring attorney supervises the work and stays attorney of record, it does not amount to the unauthorized practice of law: professional responsibility and the final work product stay with the hiring attorney.

You stay the supervising attorney

You direct the work and keep professional responsibility for the matter. The final work product is yours.

Not the unauthorized practice of law

Because the work stays under your supervision, it does not amount to the unauthorized practice of law by your counsel. That is what keeps engagements ethically sound.
