Engagement

Terms of engagement

Scope. Unreserved legal support only for UK clients, as defined in each engagement summary; full-service (including litigation) for Pakistan matters under Pakistani law.

No regulated relationship (UK). LegalX is not SRA/BSB-regulated; we are not your solicitors; no Legal Ombudsman or SRA Compensation Fund access for UK services.

Client responsibilities. For firms: you retain conduct, supervise the work and make final decisions; you check work before use.

Confidentiality & data. Mutual confidentiality; we will sign your NDA; UK GDPR applies; a DPA applies where we act as processor; UK–Pakistan transfers under the IDTA.

Fees. Quoted before work starts; UK work invoiced in GBP; we do not hold client money.

Liability. We will carry out the work with reasonable skill and care. Our liability is limited as set out in the engagement letter for your matter. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Consumer cancellation. Where you are an individual contracting with us at a distance for purposes outside your trade, business or profession, you have a 14-day right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. If you ask us to begin work within that period and then cancel, you may be required to pay a proportionate amount for the work done up to the point of cancellation.

Governing law. Engagements for UK matters are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. Engagements for Pakistan matters are governed by the laws of Pakistan, and the courts at Islamabad have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, nothing here deprives you of the protection of any mandatory law of the country in which you are resident.
