What is Client Legal Review?
NowInfinity offers legal review as an optional add-on service. By having a solicitor review your document, it provides you and your clients with an extra layer of legal protection and peace of mind when provisioning documents from the platform. We recommend that you add on legal review to your order if you are not 100% confident or certain of your input or the document's purpose, or you are not seeking your own solicitor for their review.

How are payments taken?
Once you have completed the interview form, you will be directed to the payment page. You will need to enter in your payment details for pre-authorisation purposes. This means the amount will not be charged to your card but will be placed on hold. Once Legal Review has been approved/complete, the funds will be deducted.
Note: Pre-authorisation usually has an expiry of 15 business days (21 calendar days). Therefore, if the Legal Review processing time exceeds this the held funds would be released and so, once the Legal Review has been approved, you will be asked to re-enter the details for payment prior to being able to access the documents.
What happens once I've ordered a Legal Review?
Once you have entered the payment details, you will be routed to the Collaboration page, where you can access the documents (pre-legal review), and view the status of the Legal Review request:
