New Mexico Assisting Lawyer

Terms for Assisting Lawyer

• L4SB reserves the right to resign as the Assisting Lawyer, with no notice, if it is not paid, determines the information it has on file is false, is unable to contact you, or its ongoing role as your Assisting Lawyer violates the Rules of Professional Conduct (or we have reason to believe it could violate the Rules).
• L4SB’s ability to serve as your Assisting Lawyer demands that you provide it with either a copy of your Succession Plan, or that you inform L4SB where it can obtain your Succession Plan in the event you are unavailable due to death or incapacity.
• Your Succession Plan must be compatible with our template, which requires enough information to permit L4SB to step in the role of Assisting Lawyer if we are required due to your death or incapacity.
• You agree you will notify L4SB in all instances you materially change your Succession Plan, or change where your Succession Plan may be located.
• You agree that L4SB, the law firm, and not any particular attorney, will be your Assisting Lawyer.
• You and L4SB both agree to modify these Terms, or the role of the Assisting Lawyer, as needed to remain in compliance with the Rules.
• L4SB fees are to act as your Assisting Lawyer during the term of the engagement. All fees paid to L4SB are non-refundable, and not fees paid for a future service — the service is provided on a monthly basis.
• You can cancel this service at any time, by notifying us in writing or in email to LearnMore@L4SB.com. You agree that you cannot cancel this service orally or with a phone call.
• Pricing depends on the average number of open matters for your practice, and you represent and agree to keep L4SB informed as this number changes. L4SB reserves the right to resign as the Assisting Lawyer or change its pricing, if the average number of open matters for your practice changes or you fail to keep us informed as to the actual size of your practice.
