Coverage Assignment Terms

I affirm that this is an existing client matter, not a prospective-client referral; I am authorized to share the information entered; I have obtained any client authorization, consent, or disclosure required by applicable law, court rule, or Rules Regulating The Florida Bar for use of stand-in or coverage counsel; and I have not entered unnecessary confidential information. I remain responsible for client communication, conflicts, competence, court requirements, and determining whether coverage is permitted. Attorney compensation is separate from the CoverageCases posting fee and is not contingent on the legal outcome. CoverageCases does not select, recommend, employ, supervise, or guarantee the covering attorney. I accept the applicable Coverage Assignment Terms.

I affirm that I am currently authorized to practice law in Florida and that my profile information is accurate. I have independently cleared conflicts and am competent for this limited assignment. I have reviewed the court, date, scope, compensation, expenses, deadlines, and cancellation terms. I will comply with confidentiality duties, client instructions, and court rules. I understand that CoverageCases verification is not an endorsement, conflicts check, competence determination, or guarantee. I accept the applicable Coverage Assignment Terms.

A requesting attorney may post a proposed coverage opportunity, and an eligible coverage attorney may independently decide whether to accept it. Acceptance creates a structured platform engagement record and releases each attorney's name, email address, and telephone number to the other. CoverageCases does not provide attorney-to-attorney messaging.

The displayed coverage compensation is a proposed engagement term only. CoverageCases does not collect, charge, route, hold, escrow, transfer, refund, or take a percentage or share of attorney-to-attorney engagement compensation. The attorneys must agree and settle that compensation directly outside CoverageCases under their separate written agreement.

CoverageCases may separately charge the posting attorney a fixed platform posting fee disclosed before publication. That fee is not deducted from, calculated from, or contingent on attorney compensation, any legal fee, a case value, an hourly rate, or an outcome. A posting-fee Checkout creates only a CoverageCases platform charge and never a Stripe attorney-engagement charge, transfer, application fee, or payout.

Before substantive work begins, the attorneys must make a separate written agreement addressing scope, authority, compensation, payment timing, cancellation, client communication or consent, confidentiality, conflicts, competence, supervision, trust-account and fee-division requirements, taxes, records, and all other professional obligations.

CoverageCases charges only the separately disclosed fixed platform fees. CoverageCases does not receive a percentage of attorney compensation, client legal fees, recoveries, settlements, or results.

Requesting and covering attorneys are independently responsible for structuring their compensation in compliance with applicable professional rules, including requirements governing divisions of fees between lawyers in different firms. CoverageCases does not determine whether a particular payment arrangement constitutes a division of legal fees.

The attorneys must review court, appearance method, date, scope, compensation, expenses, deadlines, and cancellation terms before acceptance and preserve their separate agreement. A platform record or document aid does not automatically file a stand-in notice or determine whether a court rule permits an appearance. Each attorney remains responsible for applicable stand-in counsel procedures and explicit filing authorization.

CoverageCases may confirm a user’s identity through Stripe Identity and compare identifying information with publicly available Florida Bar records. Verification means only that specified identity and public-record fields matched at the time shown. It is not an endorsement by The Florida Bar or CoverageCases and does not establish competence, conflicts clearance, insurance coverage, disciplinary history, or suitability for any assignment.

CoverageCases provides technology that allows attorneys to locate and communicate with other attorneys concerning temporary coverage of existing client matters. CoverageCases is not a law firm, does not provide legal services, does not establish an attorney-client relationship, and does not refer prospective clients, recommend or rank attorneys, or determine whether an attorney is appropriate for a particular matter.
