Virtual Paralegal Contract Question

[vasteph]

I have begun to branch out into the virtual paralegal market and I need some suggestions for my current contract. Basically I want to include a statement that says I am not an attorney and I cannot give legal advice. Does anyone include similar language? I know attorneys already know this but I want to cover myself as an extra precaution.

Thanks,
Stephanie Saporita

Hi Stephanie,

Just wondering if you added this new information to your contract already? If so, what did you decide?

Hello Stephanie,

I am a Virtual Paralegal that specializes in Contract Management. I have used the following language and it seems to work just fine:

"Virtual Paralegal Services are performed only under the direction and supervision of a licensed attorney. YOUR NAME HERE is a not a law firm, is not a substitute for an attorney or law firm and does not dispense legal advice. If you are seeking legal advice, please contact an attorney."

Hope this helps!
