Terms of Use

Last updated: August 17, 2026.

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of Legal Hiring Network (“LHN,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including professional profiles, employer profiles, legal-talent search, job postings, applications, direct recruiting, messaging, document features, and related services. By accessing the platform, creating an account, or using platform functionality, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

1. Eligibility and Authority

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to agree to these Terms. If you create or use an account for a law firm, company, government body, nonprofit, recruiting organization, court, or other entity, you represent that you are authorized to act for that organization in connection with the account.

2. What the Platform Is—and Is Not

Legal Hiring Network provides technology that helps legal professionals and employers discover one another, publish and search opportunities, submit applications, and communicate. Unless expressly stated otherwise, LHN is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice through the recruiting platform, does not create an attorney-client relationship, is not a party to an employment agreement between users, and does not guarantee that a user is suitable for employment or that an opportunity is suitable for a candidate.

Platform verification is limited to the specific account or credential attribute identified by the corresponding badge and the information available at the time of review. Verification is not an endorsement, background check, guarantee of current licensure, guarantee of identity beyond the reviewed process, or warranty of professional competence.

3. Accounts and Security

  • Provide accurate and current registration information.
  • Maintain the confidentiality of your credentials and use a strong, unique password.
  • Do not share an individual account with unauthorized persons or impersonate another person or organization.
  • Promptly update materially inaccurate profile, credential, employer, job, or contact information.
  • Notify us if you reasonably believe your account has been compromised.

You are responsible for activity conducted through your account to the extent permitted by law.

4. Professional Profiles and Credentials

Legal professionals are responsible for accurately describing their professional status, admissions, education, experience, employment history, credentials, availability, and application materials. Do not claim admission to a jurisdiction, title, certification, degree, or other credential you do not hold. Update your professional status when it changes, including transitions from law student to law graduate / awaiting admission to attorney.

Opportunity status and visibility settings are controlled by the professional. Public profiles may be visible on the open internet. Employer-only and confidential modes provide platform access controls but cannot prevent an authorized viewer from taking a screenshot, retaining information they lawfully received, or otherwise acting outside the platform.

5. Employer Accounts and Recruiting Activity

Employers must use the platform for legitimate recruiting, employment, professional-networking, or closely related purposes. Employer users are responsible for the accuracy of organization information, job postings, compensation information, role requirements, application instructions, and communications.

Employers must comply with applicable employment, anti-discrimination, accessibility, wage-transparency, immigration, privacy, recordkeeping, and other laws. LHN does not determine which laws apply to a particular employer or hiring decision.

6. Job Postings and Applications

  • Post only genuine opportunities that the employer is authorized to recruit for.
  • Do not publish deceptive, misleading, expired, discriminatory, unlawful, or materially incomplete job information.
  • Do not use job titles or descriptions primarily to manipulate search rankings or mislead candidates about the role.
  • If an external application URL is used, the employer is responsible for the external destination and its privacy/security practices.
  • Candidates are responsible for reviewing job requirements and deciding whether to apply.

LHN may close, remove, de-index, or return a job to draft status when it is expired, reported, associated with an unverified employer, or reasonably believed to violate these Terms.

7. No Employment or Placement Guarantee

LHN does not guarantee profile views, employer responses, interviews, applications, candidate availability, hiring, compensation, retention, licensure, work authorization, background-check results, or any other recruiting outcome. Employers and candidates must perform their own diligence and make their own decisions.

8. User Content and License

You retain ownership of content you submit, subject to rights held by others. You grant LHN a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, display, transmit, and otherwise process your submitted content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, and provide the platform in accordance with your account settings and this agreement. This license ends when the content is deleted from active systems, except to the extent retention is reasonably necessary for backups, legal compliance, security, dispute resolution, or records of prior transactions.

You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit the content and allow the platform to process it as described.

9. Résumés, Writing Samples, and Confidential Information

Do not upload or share material that you are prohibited from disclosing. Before uploading a writing sample or work product, obtain any required permission and remove client names, privileged communications, confidential business information, personal identifiers, sealed information, protected health information, financial information, or other material that should not be disclosed. LHN does not determine whether a document is privileged, confidential, ethically permissible to share, or adequately redacted.

10. Prohibited Conduct

You may not:

  • Scrape, crawl, harvest, bulk-download, systematically copy, or build a competing database from platform profiles, jobs, employer information, messages, or other nonpublic platform data without written permission.
  • Use bots, scripts, automated accounts, or automated messaging to bypass platform limits or contact users at scale.
  • Use platform data to train, fine-tune, benchmark, or populate an artificial-intelligence or machine-learning system without written permission from LHN and any other permission required by law or the data owner.
  • Send spam, irrelevant mass outreach, deceptive solicitations, or communications unrelated to legitimate recruiting/professional activity.
  • Attempt to identify a confidential professional through prohibited reverse-engineering, external data matching, or other circumvention of privacy controls.
  • Probe, scan, exploit, or interfere with platform security, authentication, rate limits, access controls, availability, or infrastructure.
  • Upload malware or use the service for fraud, harassment, unlawful discrimination, impersonation, or illegal activity.
  • Reverse engineer or copy proprietary platform code except to the limited extent a restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
  • Infringe intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other rights of another person.

11. Intellectual Property

Except for user content and third-party materials, the platform’s software, design, branding, logos, compilation, interfaces, and original content are owned by or licensed to Legal Hiring Network and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. No right to use LHN trademarks, branding, source code, or proprietary materials is granted except as necessary to use the service under these Terms.

12. Third-Party Sites and Services

The service may link to employer websites, bar authorities, external application systems, career resources, or other third-party services. LHN does not control those services and is not responsible for their content, availability, security, terms, hiring practices, or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement unless expressly stated.

13. Free Core Service and Future Features

The platform’s core professional-profile, legal-talent search, job-posting, and direct-connection features are currently offered without subscription or placement fees. LHN may add optional services, tools, sponsorships, or other features in the future. No new charge will be imposed on a user for an optional paid service without disclosure and any agreement required to purchase that service.

14. Moderation, Suspension, and Termination

We may investigate reports and may restrict functionality, remove content, suspend or terminate accounts, revoke verification, close jobs, preserve relevant records, or take other reasonable action when we believe it is necessary to enforce these Terms, protect users or the service, respond to abuse or security threats, or comply with law. Where practical and appropriate, users may be given notice or an opportunity to correct an issue, but immediate action may be taken when reasonably necessary.

15. Service Availability and Changes

We may maintain, modify, add, remove, suspend, or discontinue features. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, permanent storage, compatibility with every device or service, or that every error will be corrected. Users should retain their own copies of important application materials and records.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” LHN DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT USER-SUBMITTED INFORMATION, EMPLOYER CONDUCT, CANDIDATE QUALIFICATIONS, JOB AVAILABILITY, OR RECRUITING OUTCOMES.

17. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LHN AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, LOST DATA, REPUTATIONAL HARM, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THOSE PARTIES FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO LHN FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

18. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LHN and its owners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the service, your content, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from conduct for which indemnification cannot lawfully be required.

19. Copyright and Rights Complaints

If you believe content on the platform infringes your copyright or other rights, send a sufficiently detailed notice to support@legalhiringnetwork.com, including identification of the material, the right you believe is affected, your contact information, and enough information for us to locate and evaluate the content. We may request additional information before acting.

20. Electronic Communications

You consent to receive service-related communications electronically, including account verification, security notices, application and recruiting notifications, policy updates, and support communications. Marketing communications, if introduced, will be handled according to applicable law and available preferences.

21. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the platform evolves. The “Last updated” date identifies the current version. If a change is material, we may provide additional notice through the website, account interface, or email when appropriate. Continued use after an updated version becomes effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.

22. General Terms

If a provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your account or these Terms without our consent, except where applicable law provides otherwise. LHN may assign its rights and obligations in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, or sale of the business. These Terms, together with incorporated policies and any specific terms for an optional service, form the agreement governing use of the platform.
