An individual (the “Individual Applicant”) submits this application for the purpose of obtaining legal advice from a licensed attorney. The Individual Applicant affirms to Communities Rise (1) that the Individual Applicant is seeking legal advice for and on behalf of a small business, nonprofit organization, or community-based organization (the “Client Organization”) and (2) that the Individual Applicant is properly authorized to seek legal advice for and on behalf of the Client Organization. Communities Rise will only serve the legal needs of the Client Organization and not the personal legal needs of the Individual Applicant. If the Individual Applicant does not speak English, then this application has been adequately translated to a language understood by the Individual Applicant.THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. If Communities Rise approves this application, then Communities Rise will arrange for one or more attorneys (collectively, the “Attorney”) who will advise the Client Organization. If the Attorney is not an employee of Communities Rise, then (1) Communities Rise will not be part of the attorney-client relationship formed by the Attorney and the Client Organization, (2) Communities Rise assumes no responsibility over the attorney-client relationship formed by the Attorney, and (3) the Individual Applicant and the Client Organization agree not to hold Communities Rise liable for any malpractice, contract, tort, or other legal claim which may develop against the Attorney.NO GUARANTEES. This application does not create a contract or agreement requiring Communities Rise to provide legal services, and Communities Rise may reject an application for any reason. If approved, Communities Rise does not know and cannot guarantee how long it will take to find an attorney who will represent the applicant’s organization. Because the outcome of any legal matter is subject to inherent risks and other factors beyond an attorney’s control, Communities Rise and the Attorney have not made, and cannot make, any guarantees or promises concerning the outcome of any matters.OTHER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
