How Our Fees Work

Platform fee vs. Advocate fee — clearly explained

Dare to Law is a technology platform, not a law firm. When you use our services, two separate parties are always involved. You always pay two separate, disclosed fees to two separate entities.

🏛️ Dare to Law (Technology Platform)

Charges a platform technology fee for:

  • AI-assisted legal research (Nyay Saathi)
  • Document intake forms and template library
  • Secure encrypted storage and matter folder
  • WhatsApp and email delivery of finalised documents
  • Case tracking, reminders, and after-care
  • Administrative coordination with the empanelled advocate
The platform fee does NOT include review, drafting, signing, opining on, court filing, or any act constituting the practice of law.

⚖️ Empanelled Advocate (Independent Professional)

Charges an advocate professional fee for:

  • Reviewing and modifying all drafts before dispatch
  • Signing and stamping legal notices and documents
  • Providing legal opinions in consultations
  • Filing matters in court and appearing on your behalf
  • All acts constituting "practising law" under Section 33, Advocates Act 1961
The advocate fee is NEVER collected by the platform without your prior knowledge and consent. It is paid directly to the advocate (or disclosed escrow).

How It Flows

  1. You choose a service and see the platform fee + advocate fee split upfront
  2. You pay the platform fee to Dare to Law (for tech infrastructure)
  3. An advocate is assigned from our empanelled pool (algorithm-based, anonymous)
  4. You and the advocate sign a brief engagement letter (direct relationship)
  5. The advocate reviews, modifies, and signs your document independently
  6. The finalised document is delivered to you via the platform
  7. The advocate fee is paid directly to the advocate (disclosed at checkout)
Dare to Law operates as a technology intermediary under Section 2(1)(w) of the IT Act 2000. All advocate services are performed by independently enrolled advocates under the Advocates Act 1961. The attorney–client relationship exists solely between the user and the assigned advocate. Read the full disclaimer →
