Documents in other languages may need a certified legal translation before they can be filed. Government, court, translation and notary fees are not included and are paid separately at cost.

FAQs
Is a legal notice mandatory before suing?+
Not always, but it is required for some claims and is good practice: it fixes dates and often leads to settlement.
How should it be delivered?+
It depends on the country and the contract; notary service is common where proof of delivery matters. The lawyer will recommend a method.
What if I don’t have every document on the list?+
Upload what you have. The lawyer will tell you what is essential and what can be described instead; the delivery time starts once the essentials are received.
Are court or government fees included?+
No. The package covers the lawyer’s work only. Any court, government, translation or notary fees are paid separately at cost.
