Preamble
WHEREAS eLawyers.pk is a technology platform that helps users in Pakistan discover, evaluate, and contact legal professionals, and publishes general legal information and glossary content for educational purposes only;
AND WHEREAS reliance on directory listings, verification badges, reviews, or informational content in place of individualised advice from a retained advocate may result in adverse consequences, including missed limitation periods or procedural deadlines;
NOW, THEREFORE, this Legal Disclaimer sets out important limitations that apply to all information and features on the Platform, and should be read together with our Terms of Use.
Article 1
Informational Purpose Only
- 1.1
eLawyers.pk is a technology intermediary that facilitates discovery of, and communication with, legal professionals in Pakistan. Directory listings, legal guides, glossary entries, and other published content are provided for general informational purposes only.
- 1.2
Nothing on the Platform constitutes legal advice, a legal opinion, or a recommendation as to any specific course of action. Legal guides and glossary content are simplified explanations and are not a substitute for advice tailored to your facts.
- 1.3
Use of the Platform, including submission of a consultation inquiry or message, does not by itself create an advocate-client, solicitor-client, or other professional relationship. Such a relationship arises only when an advocate expressly agrees to represent you, typically through a separate engagement or retainer.
Article 2
No Guarantee of Outcome
- 2.1
Nothing on the Platform guarantees the outcome, duration, or cost of any legal matter. References to an advocate's experience, practice areas, or past matters are not predictions or guarantees regarding your matter.
- 2.2
Reviews reflect the subjective experience of individual clients with a specific consultation and do not guarantee similar outcomes for other matters or clients.
Article 3
Verification Limits
- 3.1
A verification badge indicates that our verification officers reviewed identity and bar enrolment documentation submitted by the advocate and found it, on its face, to be consistent and complete as at the date of review, in accordance with our Verification Policy.
- 3.2
Verification is not an endorsement of an advocate's competence, professional conduct beyond the checks performed, fee arrangements, availability, or suitability for any particular matter, and does not constitute a warranty of any kind.
- 3.3
Credentials, standing, and circumstances may change after verification. Users are encouraged to independently confirm an advocate's current bar council standing and to conduct their own due diligence before instructing counsel.
Article 4
Third-Party and User-Submitted Content
- 4.1
Profile biographies, fee-arrangement notes, reviews, and other content submitted by advocates, firms, or clients reflect the views of the submitting party and have not been independently verified by us beyond the checks described in our Verification Policy and Review Policy.
- 4.2
We do not warrant that directory information, reviews, or complaint outcomes are complete, current, or free from error, and we disclaim responsibility for inaccuracies in user-submitted content.
Article 5
Urgent Matters
- 5.1
Arrests, remand hearings, injunction applications, limitation periods, court deadlines, and other time-sensitive legal matters require immediate assistance from qualified counsel obtained outside this website.
- 5.2
Do not rely on the Platform, including messaging or appointment-scheduling features, for emergency legal response. Response times for inquiries and messages are not guaranteed and may not be suitable for urgent matters.
Article 6
eLawyers.pk Is Not a Law Firm
- 6.1
eLawyers.pk is not a law firm, chambers, legal practice, or bar association, does not practise law, and does not employ advocates to represent Platform users.
- 6.2
Any retainer, engagement letter, advice, or representation arises solely between a client and the advocate or firm they instruct. We are not a party to, and assume no responsibility for, that engagement.
Article 7
Limitation of Liability
- 7.1
To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Pakistan, eLawyers.pk disclaims liability for the acts, omissions, advice, or conduct of any advocate or firm, and for outcomes of any legal matter arising from use of the Platform.
- 7.2
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for reliance on directory listings, verification badges, reviews, or legal guides published on the Platform.
- 7.3
This Article supplements, and does not limit, the fuller disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability set out in our Terms of Use, which prevail in the event of any inconsistency.
Article 8
Changes and Contact
- 8.1
We may update this Disclaimer from time to time. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated effective or last-updated date.
- 8.2
Questions concerning this Disclaimer may be directed to legal@elawyers.pk.
