Limited Scope Engagement Terms

Last updated: December 2025

Scope of Services

Dott Legal Services PLLC provides limited scope document review services. This engagement is strictly limited to reviewing the specific document you submit and providing a written legal memo identifying issues, risks, and suggested revisions.

Not Full Legal Representation

This is NOT full legal representation. Specifically, this engagement does not include:

  • Negotiating on your behalf
  • Representing you in court or administrative proceedings
  • Providing ongoing legal counsel
  • Reviewing subsequent drafts or amendments
  • Advising on matters beyond the submitted document

No Attorney-Client Relationship for Other Matters

The attorney-client relationship created by this engagement is limited solely to the specific document review requested. It does not extend to:

  • Other legal matters or documents
  • Future versions of the reviewed document
  • Related transactions or agreements
  • Legal questions arising after the review is completed

Professional Judgment

Our legal analysis represents the professional judgment of the reviewing attorney based on the information provided. Legal issues often involve subjective analysis, and different attorneys may reach different conclusions on the same matter.

No Guarantee of Outcomes

We do not guarantee specific outcomes, results, or that our review will identify every potential issue. Legal documents can involve complex or novel issues where the law is unclear or evolving.

Limitations on Liability

While we maintain professional liability insurance, our maximum liability for any claim arising from this engagement is limited to the fees you paid for the specific review giving rise to the claim.

Confidentiality

Your documents and our communications are protected by attorney-client privilege and will be kept confidential, except as required by law or professional ethics rules.

Governing Law

This engagement is governed by New York law and the New York Rules of Professional Conduct. The reviewing attorney is licensed to practice law in New York.

Jurisdictional Limitations

Our review is based on New York law unless you specifically request analysis under another jurisdiction's law. Laws vary by state and country. You should consult with an attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction for definitive guidance.

When to Seek Additional Counsel

You should consider engaging separate legal counsel if:

  • The transaction involves significant value or risk
  • Complex negotiations are required
  • Litigation is anticipated or ongoing
  • Regulatory compliance issues are involved
  • You need ongoing legal representation

Termination

This limited scope engagement concludes when we deliver the legal memo. Either party may terminate before delivery, but fees are non-refundable except as provided in our Terms of Service.

If you have questions about the scope of this engagement, please contact us at support@dott.legal before submitting your document.

Important Notice: By using our services, you acknowledge that you understand this is a limited scope engagement and does not create an ongoing attorney-client relationship. For complex matters or ongoing representation, you should engage an attorney directly.
