KyraLegal LLP Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to the terms of service ("Terms") for KyraLegal LLP ("KyraLegal LLP", "we", "us", or "our"). These Terms govern your access to and use of our website and the legal services we offer (collectively, "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to all of the Terms, you are not authorized to use the Services.

Client Engagement

Clients typically engage KyraLegal LLP's services through a Vakalatnama form, a standard document authorizing legal representation in India.

Billing and Payment

KyraLegal LLP does not use hourly billing for its core services and we do not provide a refund. We offer various engagement models depending on the specific needs of the client. These models may include fixed fees, retainers, or time-bound rates for specific services. However, there might be exceptional circumstances where time-based charges may apply, such as assisting the client with a call with the opposite party requiring an advocate's real-time assistance. These situations and associated fees will be clearly explained and outlined in a separate agreement.

Client Communications and Confidentiality

●      Initial Contact: Your initial contact with KyraLegal LLP will typically be through a call, message, and emails in some cases. The paralegal will discuss your legal needs and help determine which advocate may be best suited for your case.

●      Confidentiality: All client communications with KyraLegal LLP, including those via phone, message (e.g., WhatsApp), or email, will be considered confidential. This includes any sensitive information disclosed during these communications. KyraLegal LLP maintains strict confidentiality measures to protect your information.

Document Submission

KyraLegal LLP offers several secure methods for clients to submit documents:

●      Email: This is a preferred method for most document submissions.

• In-person drop-off (consultation fee may apply): This option allows for immediate document review, but a consultation fee might apply.

●      Using External Courier Services: Clients can also choose to send documents via a trusted courier service of their choice. KyraLegal LLP does not offer its own courier service. If you require assistance with booking a courier service, a paralegal can assist you.

Clients may also choose to submit documents via WhatsApp at their own comfort level. KyraLegal LLP will accommodate these preferences while maintaining confidentiality.
