PAYMENT PROCESS · LOCAL DEMO
Clear scope.
Then payment. Then work.
See what you are paying for, how payment is confirmed and when work will start.
- 1
Send a short brief
Describe the matter, parties and any deadline without sending sensitive files.
- 2
Complete the conflict check
We check whether we can act before accepting the instruction.
- 3
Agree and sign
Confirm the responsible lawyer, engagement entity, scope, fee, timetable and terms in writing.
- 4
Receive payment instructions
Check the payee, currency, reference and amount against the agreed documents.
- 5
Verify cleared funds
A transfer receipt helps identify payment; it does not confirm that funds have arrived.
- 6
Start the agreed work
We confirm the start once payment and the other agreed starting conditions are satisfied.

1. Before a payment request
For this walkthrough, confirm these example starting conditions:
2. Choose a proposed method
3. Awaiting verification
Demo payment notice recorded. No money has moved.
The real process would reconcile the reference, amount, currency and cleared funds. A screenshot alone does not confirm payment.
For a shortfall, delay or unidentified transfer, clarify the difference before confirming the start. Do not send a duplicate payment without checking.
4. Example: ready to start
In the live process, payment confirmation would identify the matched invoice, funds received, any balance, next deliverable and agreed start date.
This is a simulated confirmation, not a receipt. No invoice, payment or engagement has been created.
Discuss your matterDemo: waiting for the agreement checks.
Changes, cancellation and unused funds
Additional work or a new stage needs a separate scope and fee agreement. Cancellation, unused funds and refunds follow the written engagement terms; the preview does not set a refund amount or deadline.
Before you transfer
Check the payee against the engagement documents. Independently verify any change of bank details through a previously confirmed contact channel. Do not send passwords, authentication codes or full card details by email.
Do not assume an urgent filing or other deadline is being handled simply because payment was sent. Obtain explicit confirmation of the instruction and timetable.
