Attorney Advertising. This website is for general information only and is not legal advice. Viewing this site or submitting an inquiry does not create an attorney–client relationship. Joining Cloud Counsel forms a limited-scope attorney–client relationship under our written platform agreement: your case file is confidential and privileged, and the platform’s attorney-designed tools are part of our limited-scope legal services. We do not, however, become your attorneys for your underlying legal matter unless and until you and the firm sign a separate engagement agreement. Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome — every case depends on its own facts and law — and testimonials reflect individual experiences, not a promise of results. In contingent-fee matters, responsibility for court costs and case expenses is governed by your written agreement. Cloud Counsel’s AI features, including Wigmore, are attorney-designed legal services delivered within your privileged case file; like any AI they can make mistakes, and individualized attorney review of their output is available separately through a la carte attorney sessions.
