Welcome to the second part of the Legal Nodes onboarding process! This crucial phase lays the foundation for our collaboration and allows us to tailor our services to your specific needs.
Our onboarding process is designed to accommodate diverse client preferences and requirements. We offer the following packages:
Please bear in mind that while your desired package covers ongoing support from our internal experts, add-on costs can arise due depending on the project nature and documents required. Read more about add on costs here.
What happens during this phase of onboarding?
The onboarding phase begins the moment you make a payment for your Starter package or Project Package. What happens next involves a lot of behind-the-scenes work:
As soon as you make your first payment, your Virtual Legal Officer (VLO) and the Legal Nodes team start working on your business project.
We take the information you provided to the Sales Team and use it to research your best legal options.
Your VLO builds all of this information into a document that the team will use to plan out your Legal Projects.
The prioritization of Legal Projects in your account depends on your goals, desired timeline, and the complexity of each goal. Don't be concerned if you don't see projects appearing rapidly in your account; the Legal Nodes team and your VLO are continuously working in the background.
During the initial period after choosing and paying for your package with Legal Nodes, you can expect the following:
You'll attend at least one Legal Discovery Session.
You'll be able to submit requests via the platform to your VLO.
Your VLO will be working behind the scenes.
The Legal Nodes team will be gathering information to plan out your first Legal Projects and make them visible in your account.
What is the purpose and benefit of Legal Discovery Sessions?
The onboarding process includes one 45-minute Legal Discovery Sessions (LDS) which costs 4 credits. These sessions are crucial for understanding your legal needs that come with your short- and long-term goals. The outcome of these sessions is that your VLO can begin planning your first Legal Projects, so that they align with your key business goals.
This approach ensures that all clients receive the same high-quality, comprehensive onboarding experience, establishing a solid legal foundation for their business, regardless of their chosen credit package.
What can I expect in my Legal Discovery Sessions (LDS)?
Legal Discovery Sessions (LDS) are 45-minute consultations with our Industry Expert to discuss legal matters and questions related to your business. These sessions are designed to provide guidance and support for global technology companies, focusing on legal structure suggestions and mapping out your first Legal Projects.
When can I expect work on my Legal Projects to begin?
The Legal Nodes team begins laying the foundations for your legal project work as soon as you start your plan. The commencement of specific projects depends on various factors:
Some projects may be covered by the credits in your Growth Plan and can begin immediately.
Other projects might require additional credits or more extensive planning.
The volume and complexity of work can vary significantly from client to client.
For a clearer understanding of which Legal Projects can begin right away and which require more time to prepare, it's best to consult with your Virtual Legal Officer (VLO). They can provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation and needs.
How soon can I expect to see my Legal Projects on my Legal Nodes account?
There is no set time limit by which Legal Projects will appear in your account. Instead, this information can be provided by your VLO. The timeline for Legal Projects appearing in your account largely depends on the complexity of the project and the volume of work required.
Some clients may decide on their best legal strategy within a month, allowing us to proceed quickly with creating the Legal Projects in your account and getting started on them. If you require more time to consider your options and decide on your preferred route, we will work with you to plan out your Legal Projects at your pace. Our goal is to ensure you're comfortable with your legal strategy before moving forward with your Legal Projects.
Can I have more than two Legal Discovery Sessions?
Additional Legal Discovery Sessions (LDS) can be arranged. Some of our clients will complete two LDS within the first month of their plan and be ready to start work on their Legal Projects.
For others, only one session may be required. If you’re concerned you may need several LDS, speak to us about this.
Typically, in the first LDS, you’ll review suggested legal structures and jurisdictions, with a focus on the best option. In your second LDS, you’ll review more detailed Legal Project suggestions and associated cost and time estimates. After each session, clients will receive a summary of recommendations from their Virtual Legal Officer (VLO).
