To participate in the Verom attorney network, you must:
Verom verifies attorney credentials through a multi-step process:
Verification is ongoing. We periodically re-verify bar status and monitor disciplinary databases. You must notify Verom within 48 hours of any change to your bar status, disciplinary proceedings, or insurance coverage.
Attorneys on Verom are independent contractors, not employees. You:
Verom does not direct, supervise, or control your legal work. The attorney-client relationship is between you and your client exclusively.
Verom connects pre-screened applicants with verified attorneys through our marketplace. Participation in the marketplace is optional.
You set your own fees for all legal services. Verom does not dictate, approve, or cap attorney fees. However:
Once you accept a case through the marketplace:
Repeated failure to meet response time commitments may result in reduced marketplace visibility or suspension from the network.
Your participation in the Verom network does not alter your professional obligations under applicable rules of professional conduct. By joining, you represent and agree that:
You will only accept cases for which you have the legal knowledge, skill, thoroughness, and preparation reasonably necessary for the representation. Using AI-assisted tools does not substitute for attorney competence; you remain responsible for understanding and supervising all AI outputs used in your legal work.
You will keep clients reasonably informed about the status of their matter, promptly comply with reasonable requests for information, and explain matters to the extent necessary for clients to make informed decisions.
You will maintain confidentiality of information relating to client representation. You acknowledge that Verom implements technical controls to protect client communications, but you remain responsible for compliance with your jurisdiction's confidentiality rules, including any obligations when using AI tools to process client information.
You are solely responsible for identifying and resolving conflicts of interest before accepting any case. Verom provides conflict-check tools as a convenience only; these tools do not satisfy your professional conflict-check obligation. You must not accept representation when a conflict of interest exists unless fully informed written consent is obtained in compliance with applicable rules.
Your fees must be reasonable and communicated to clients in writing before or shortly after engagement begins. All marketplace fees must be processed through Verom's escrow system. Verom's platform fee is a technology service fee and does not constitute impermissible fee-splitting under ABA Model Rule 5.4 or its state equivalents, as Verom does not direct or supervise your legal work. You are responsible for confirming compliance with your specific jurisdiction's rules.
If you supervise other attorneys or non-attorney staff (including paralegals) who use Verom tools in connection with your cases, you remain responsible for ensuring their work complies with the rules of professional conduct. When using AI-assisted drafting tools, you must review all AI-generated content before use and exercise independent professional judgment.
You must not assist any person in the unauthorized practice of law. You acknowledge that Verom's AI tools, when used independently by non-attorneys, do not constitute legal services. However, if you supervise or direct non-attorney staff who use Verom tools on client matters, you are responsible for ensuring no UPL occurs.
Your profile on Verom constitutes attorney advertising in applicable jurisdictions. You are responsible for ensuring your profile, stated specializations, claimed approval rates, and other representations comply with your jurisdiction's advertising rules. Do not make false or misleading statements about your qualifications, experience, or past results.
Attorneys licensed outside the United States must comply with the professional conduct rules of their jurisdiction (e.g., SRA Code of Conduct in England and Wales, Law Society rules in Canada, MARA Code of Conduct in Australia). References to ABA Model Rules above are illustrative; your jurisdiction's equivalent rules apply.
You must:
Attorneys in the Verom network must not:
Verom monitors attorney performance to maintain marketplace quality:
Performance data is used to optimize case matching and is partially visible to prospective clients (aggregate ratings and response times).
Verom uses graduated consequences for policy violations:
The severity of consequences depends on the nature and frequency of violations. Attorneys may appeal through our dispute resolution process.
If you are unable to continue a case, or if you are removed from the network:
Tools, templates, and features provided by Verom are our intellectual property. You may use them in connection with Verom cases but may not copy, redistribute, or use them outside the platform.
Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time with 30 days written notice. Upon termination:
Verom is not liable for the quality, outcome, or legality of legal services provided by attorneys on the platform. Attorneys are solely responsible for their professional obligations and legal work product.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States.
