Your Rights

At FTE Legal, we believe every client deserves Fairness, Transparency and Efficiency.

Fairness
The starting point of everything we do

1. Our rates will be fair, reasonable and accessible.

2. We will keep minimal overhead and regularly evaluate expenses to maintain accessible rates.

3. Our service terms will be fair, balanced and reasonable.

4. Our initial consultations will be at no cost to clients.

5. We will not bill clients for time spent on trivial tasks (e.g., quick texts, short emails).

Transparency
Clearly a necessity

6. Our rates and terms will be posted publicly on our website.

7. Our invoices will contain adequate detail of billable activity and expenses.

8. We will never mark up expenses or engage in fee-sharing with co-counsel and consultants.

Efficiency
You shouldn’t pay for busywork

9. We operate as an AI-native practice and will leverage automation and artificial intelligence tools to ensure efficiency, always ethically, with attorney review of every work product, and in a manner that protects your information. We opt out of AI model training with our vendors wherever the option exists, and we do not knowingly route your confidential information through tools that train AI models on them.

10. We will make an effort to advise you when a known lower cost alternative to a plan of action is available.

11. You may opt out of AI-assisted work on your matter by written notice, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Fairness. Transparency. Efficiency. If that’s what you want in your legal team, you’re in the right place.
