Do I have to pay anything in advance?
AfricanLaw requires that payments be made in advance prior to a lawyer commencing your work. However, special arrangements can be made for existing clients with separate service agreements.
In the event that you choose to pay by bank transfer instead of credit card, online store orders or your work will be placed on hold pending payment. Your lawyer will only start work as soon as we confirm receipt of payment.
