Terms of service
The terms that apply to our website and recruiting services. Commercial engagements are covered by separate written agreements.
1. Scope and agreement
These Terms govern your use of nextlawhire.com and the legal recruiting services provided by NextDev, Inc., doing business as NextLAW (“NextLAW,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the site or submitting information to us, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. A separate signed recruiting or placement agreement controls its commercial terms if they conflict with these Terms.
2. Recruiting services
NextLAW helps law firms and in-house legal teams recruit attorneys, paralegals, and legal operations professionals. Our work can include sourcing, discussing experience and interest, making introductions, and coordinating interviews.
Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee that we will undertake a search, create a placement, or enter a commercial engagement. Fees, replacement provisions, guarantees, and other commercial obligations must be set out in a separate written agreement.
3. Professional profile search
Search results come from saved professional information and may be incomplete, out of date, or contain errors. Results are a starting point for a recruiting discussion. Appearance in search does not establish current availability, interest in a role, consent to an introduction, or verification of qualifications.
Abbreviated names do not make profile information anonymous. Do not use the search to compile contact lists, republish profiles, harass people, or bypass our access controls. Contact us about inaccurate information or a profile removal request.
4. Hiring organizations
You are responsible for the accuracy of the hiring requirements you provide and for all hiring decisions. Independently verify qualifications relevant to the role, including professional licenses or bar admission, references, work authorization, and any applicable conflicts or employment requirements.
You are responsible for compliance with laws that apply to your hiring and employment practices. A profile or introduction is not a warranty of suitability, and we do not guarantee an interview, acceptance, start date, or employment outcome.
5. Candidates and submissions
Provide accurate information that you have the right to share. Please do not submit confidential client information, privileged material, or unnecessary sensitive personal information. You authorize us to use information you submit to respond and carry out the recruiting activity you request, as described in our Privacy Policy.
We discuss opportunities and introductions with candidates as part of the recruiting process. Sending an inquiry or resume does not guarantee representation, interviews, offers, or placement. An employment relationship is between the candidate and the hiring organization.
6. Acceptable use
Do not use the Services unlawfully; misrepresent your identity or authority; submit information you have no right to share; interfere with systems; access nonpublic information without permission; or bypass rate limits and other safeguards. Automated bulk extraction, high-volume scraping, and attempts to overwhelm or misuse the Services are prohibited.
We may restrict or suspend access to protect the Services, address a breach of these Terms, or comply with law.
7. Content and third-party services
NextDev, Inc. owns the NextLAW site design, original content, and related intellectual property except where otherwise indicated. Third-party names, photographs, logos, and other materials remain subject to their owners’ rights.
We provide limited access to the website for its intended recruiting purposes. This does not grant a right to resell, reproduce, or redistribute the Services or profile database. External sites and email services operate under their own terms.
8. Information and professional advice
NextLAW provides recruiting services. Website content and recruiting communications do not constitute legal advice or create an attorney-client relationship. Obtain advice from appropriately qualified professionals when making legal or employment decisions.
9. Disclaimers
To the extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without express or implied warranties, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free access.
Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty, right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
10. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, NextDev, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or losses of profits, data, or business arising from use of the Services.
Except as provided in a separate written agreement, our aggregate liability for direct damages will not exceed the greater of USD 100 or the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. These limits do not apply where prohibited by law.
11. Responsibility for misuse
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NextDev, Inc. from claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable expenses resulting from your unlawful use of the Services, breach of these Terms, or violation of a third party’s rights.
12. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by Delaware law, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Unless applicable law requires otherwise or a separate written agreement provides otherwise, disputes concerning these Terms or the Services will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.
13. Updates and contact
We may change the Services and these Terms. We will update the date on this page and provide additional notice when required by law. Continued use after changes take effect is subject to the updated Terms.
