Remote legal assistance, remote legal services, online legal support, online legal consultation, distance legal advice, remote solicitor, remote legal consultation – these are various terms used to describe the legal service of engaging a lawyer to provide legal support remotely (at a distance).

This type of legal assistance allows clients to save valuable time, which can often come at a high cost.

In addition, legal entities and sole proprietors can reduce expenses typically associated with maintaining an in-house lawyer, including the cost of allocating and equipping a dedicated workspace.

In practice, for various reasons, business owners and directors of legal entities frequently consult external lawyers for legal advice – even when they already employ an in-house legal counsel.

It is important to remember that what may seem like a simple legal issue at first glance, if left unresolved, can escalate into a costly legal problem. Timely remote legal assistance can help prevent such situations.

Remote legal support is suitable not only for clients located far from the lawyer but also for anyone who values their time and prefers efficient service.

The lawyer provides the following legal services remotely:

– Legal advice and clarification on legal matters;
– Review and legal analysis of documents;
– Drafting of applications, complaints, contracts, claims, lawsuits, appeals, cassation appeals, and other legal documents;
– Representation and protection of the rights, freedoms, and interests of individuals, as well as the rights and interests of legal entities, before courts, state authorities, local self-government bodies, businesses, institutions and organisations (regardless of ownership or subordination), public associations, and in communication with private individuals and officials authorised to resolve relevant legal matters;
– Subscription-based legal services under programmes such as: Personal Lawyer, Family Lawyer, Business Lawyer;
– Other legal services as agreed with the Client.

To ensure maximum efficiency and benefit from legal support, it is recommended that clients include the following information when requesting remote legal services:

– The client’s preferred method of payment;
– Any other information the client considers important.
