Questions
Frequently asked.
Is it really free?
Yes. Creating a profile, posting, responding and messaging are all free. There are no commissions, posting fees or paid tiers.
Who can join?
Attorneys with an active license in at least one U.S. jurisdiction: any state, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory. We confirm every admission in the official directory before a profile goes live.
How do you verify attorneys?
When you submit your profile, we check each bar admission against the regulator's own attorney directory, and a member of our team approves the profile. AI speeds up the lookup. A person makes every decision.
Who can see my profile and my posts?
Only attorneys whose profiles we've approved. Profiles, posts and messages are never shown to the public or to search engines.
What happens to my resume?
It's read once to draft your profile and then deleted. We don't keep the file.
Does Colawborate take part in fee splits or referrals?
No. Colawborate isn't a law firm or a lawyer referral service. It doesn't recommend lawyers, doesn't receive any part of a fee and isn't a party to any engagement. You remain responsible for your jurisdiction's rules on fee division, advertising, confidentiality and conflicts.
Can I describe a case in a post?
Keep posts general: practice area, forum, stage and what you need. Share client names and confidential facts only in private messages, after you've cleared conflicts with the other attorney.
Can I hire for a permanent position?
Yes. Firms and solo practitioners post full-time, part-time, of counsel and contract-to-hire roles.
