Frequently Asked Questions.

How do I find legal advice through Made It Legal?

Made It Legal provides a marketplace where you can find a lawyer to give you legal advice. When you submit a request through the marketplace, you can describe your legal question or project, give your budget for the work, and ask for quotes and responses from the marketplace lawyers. Keep in mind when giving a budget that the budget amount may impact how many responses you get back.

After you select a lawyer, the two of you will start working together. When you get started, you and the lawyer enter into a direct lawyer-client relationship. That means the legal advice you get is direct from your lawyer rather than from Made It Legal.

We interview and onboard all the lawyers to the Lawyer Marketplace to make sure you have a great selection of knowledgeable and friendly lawyers.

Made It Legal is also your client relationship manager. That means we’re here to help you have a happy relationship with your lawyer. So, we’re always here to help if you have a concern.

Is finding legal advice through Made It Legal available everywhere?

Right now, you can get legal advice through the Lawyer Marketplace in Alberta.

We’re expanding our legal marketplace across Canada and we’re very excited about that. We regularly update the provinces where we have lawyers offering their services, so checkout the marketplace to see who’s working in your area. You can also join our newsletter and we’ll let you know as soon as we open up in a new province.

Who are the lawyers available through the Made It Legal lawyer marketplace?

The lawyers providing services to you through the Lawyer Marketplace are lawyers qualified to practice law in your province. We interview each of them to make sure they have the experience and focus on quality that we want to see in the Lawyer Marketplace. Some of the lawyers have extensive experience from large law firms and others have worked with large companies as in-house lawyers.

When you submit a request through the Lawyer Marketplace, we’ll send you profiles of lawyers that are a good fit for the work you need.

How much does it cost to get legal advice and lawyer help?

We help match you with a lawyer with the background you need for your legal work. But you and the lawyer will work out the rate and costs for the work together. Made It Legal doesn’t set the lawyer’s rates or quote for the work you need. We do help you get quotes from quality lawyers so you have an idea of the cost and are better able to make decisions about the legal work you get.

How much time does it take to get my legal work done?

We help match you with a lawyer with the background you need for your legal work. But you and the lawyer will work out any timelines for the work together. Made It Legal doesn’t set the lawyer’s time estimates for the work you need. We do help you communicate your timing needs to lawyers so you are better able to make decisions about the legal work you get.

What if I have a problem with my lawyer?

Made It Legal is your client happiness manager. That means we’re here to help you have a happy relationship with your lawyer. So, we’re always here to help if you were to have a concern with the legal work you’re getting. While we don’t guarantee the lawyer’s work, if you want our help we’ll gladly talk to your lawyer for you if you have a concern about the quality of work or how quickly you’re getting service.

Is Made It Legal a law firm?

Made It Legal was founded by and is run by lawyers, but we’re not a law firm. We’re a software technology company that provides automated legal drafting to you and a marketplace for legal services so you can get legal advice direct from lawyers when you need it.

How do I make legal documents online with Made It Legal?

Find a document you need (you can take a look at them all here). Start making your document by clicking on “Make my Document” and we’ll ask you some questions to get to know your business and to see what needs to go into your document. After you’re all done answering the guided questions, you’ll get a full preview of your document. When you click to finish your document it will be saved in your Made It Legal account, ready for you to use instantly.

Do the documents work for all areas of Canada?

Most of our legal documents are designed to be used across Canada except for in Quebec. We love Quebec, but it has a different legal system than the rest of Canada. We’re working on making documents that can be used in Quebec and translated into French. If a document can’t be used elsewhere across Canada, we’ll let you know before you start making it.

When I make a legal document am I getting legal advice?

All of our legal document templates are meticulously reviewed by a lawyer so you’re getting great legal documents. We also make sure the technologies we use to make your legal documents, including our AI tools, are thoroughly tested by our software development team and also our lawyers for quality control. But when you make a legal document through our self-serve guides online, you’re not getting legal advice from us. We provide a software service and not lawyer services. But don’t worry! You can get legal advice through our friendly and easy-to-use Lawyer Marketplace.

Made It Legal was founded by and is run by lawyers, but we’re not a law firm.

I'm a lawyer, can I provide my services through the Made It Legal marketplace?

Absolutely! We would be happy to talk to you about having you join the Made It Legal Lawyer Marketplace so you can find clients through us. Please get in touch so we can go over the details and get started. We begin with some simple verification steps to make sure you’re qualified to practice law and then have a video or phone call with you to talk about your areas of practice and experience before onboarding you to the Lawyer Marketplace.

What's a client happiness manager and how does it work?

We help you manage your relationship with the clients you find through the Lawyer Marketplace so you can focus on finding clients and delivering your services. You’re still the “owner” of the client relationship and responsible for your billings, accounting, and professional duties. But we help both clients and lawyers sort out wrinkles that can come up when working together. Our focus is on both the lawyer’s and the client’s happiness with Made It Legal’s Lawyer Marketplace. We find this goes a very long ways to making lawyers and clients happy and creates confidence in the marketplace.
