In practice
Ownership
Participation in Lina’s technology business may form part of an individual founding-partner arrangement. Eligibility, scope and terms are considered separately and are never implied by an application.
In practice
Client access
When a client need matches a founding partner’s expertise and jurisdiction, Lina may facilitate an introduction. Client choice, conflicts and engagement terms always apply; no volume of work is guaranteed.
In practice
Optional office access
Access to a Lina office can be discussed where space is available. Using an office is optional and depends on location and practical arrangements.
The manifesto
Senior lawyers should spend their time exercising legal judgment, not carrying avoidable process. Lina combines clearly assigned professional responsibility with shared systems designed to make legal work clearer and more efficient.
What makes it real
In practice
What is live today
Lina combines a law firm, a shared technology platform and a growing network of senior lawyers. The lawyer or firm responsible for each matter is identified in the engagement documentation.
In practice
How work is supported
Shared support can cover intake, scoping, billing and practice technology. The support available to a founding partner is agreed before joining and can vary by jurisdiction and practice.
In practice
Client confidence
Clients receive a defined scope, clear engagement terms and an identified senior legal contact before work begins. Delivery arrangements remain specific to each matter.
Technology
Lina’s practice stack keeps documents, sources, review and matter context connected. Lawyers remain responsible for legal judgment and approval; the tools used depend on the needs and safeguards of each matter.
