LinkedInQ&A
Good questions.
Clear answers.
What does AI-native mean for my work?
Our technology supports document review, version comparison and drafting. Your appointed DoesLaw lawyer directs the work, checks its output and remains responsible for the advice.
How will we share documents and stay in touch?
We agree the workspace, update rhythm and working group for your matter. Your proposal can include a client workspace and a group in Slack, Teams or an existing channel. We confirm availability, access and confidentiality arrangements before use.
How are fees agreed?
We propose a scope and fixed fee before work begins. For larger matters, the proposal sets out the stages and what is included. Any change in scope is agreed with you.
Can I ask about a matter that is not listed?
Yes. Describe what you need and we will confirm whether we can help. The proposal identifies the lawyer, scope and applicable jurisdiction before you engage us.
What happens after I send a request?
A DoesLaw lawyer reviews the details and contacts you to clarify the matter or send a proposal. Sending an enquiry does not start an engagement or commit you to a fee.
