1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the services provided by Broussard Legal Services ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services. These terms apply to all clients, visitors, and users who access or use our legal services.
2. Description of Services
Broussard Legal Services provides freelance legal services including, but not limited to: litigation support, contract review, legal research, document drafting, case management, and deposition preparation. All services are provided to licensed attorneys and law firms only. We do not provide legal advice directly to the public.
3. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Our services are provided to attorneys and law firms as a support resource. Nothing in our communications, deliverables, or website constitutes legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed between Broussard Legal Services and any end client. All work product is intended to assist supervising attorneys who bear sole responsibility for legal advice rendered to their clients.
4. Engagement & Payment
Services are rendered pursuant to a written engagement agreement or statement of work. Fees are outlined in the applicable agreement. A deposit may be required before work commences. Payment is due upon receipt of invoice unless otherwise agreed in writing. Late payments may incur a 1.5% monthly finance charge. We reserve the right to suspend services for overdue accounts.
5. Confidentiality
We treat all client information, case materials, and work product as strictly confidential. We will not disclose any information shared with us in the course of an engagement to any third party without your written consent, except as required by law. We maintain appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect client data.
6. Intellectual Property
Upon full payment of all fees, all work product created specifically for your engagement becomes your property. We retain the right to use general methodologies, templates, and processes developed in the course of our work. We do not retain copies of client-specific documents beyond the engagement period unless required by law or agreed in writing.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Broussard Legal Services's liability for any claim arising out of or related to our services shall not exceed the total fees paid for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim. We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. Our services are provided as a support resource to licensed attorneys who retain professional responsibility.
8. Termination
Either party may terminate an engagement with written notice. Upon termination, you agree to pay for all work completed through the termination date. We reserve the right to immediately terminate services if we determine that continued engagement would require us to violate applicable law or professional standards.
9. Governing Law
These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these terms shall be resolved in the courts of Louisiana.
10. Changes to Terms
