ICA Member Legal Benefit
The ICA is introducing a Legal Benefit for its members. Leading attorneys who have many years experience dealing with legal issues involving domain names and who are also fellow ICA members are offering a 15% discount to ICA members on their first engagement. In addition, new ICA members benefit from an additional $200 credit towards $1,000 of legal services. The Legal Benefit is available for all legal services, not only domain name related legal services.
How it Works
- ICA members can select the participating attorney of their choice.
- ICA members are required to identify themselves to the participating attorneys as ICA members using the benefit, at the time of initial contact with the participating attorney.
- The 15% discount may be on an hourly rate and/or on fixed rate services.
- New ICA members who have paid their first year membership dues in full are additionally eligible for a $200 credit towards at least $1,000 worth of legal services, after deducting the 15% discount.
- The Legal Benefits apply to the first matter for which the attorney is engaged.
- After the first matter, the ICA member and the participating attorney can work out the terms between themselves for work on any further matters.
- This program is available to new clients of participating attorneys only, not to existing clients of the participating attorneys.
- The ICA makes no representations or warranties as to the quality of legal services provided or of results obtained from working with a particular attorney. ICA members will need to do their own due diligence prior to selecting a participating attorney.
- The ICA reserves the right to discontinue this program at any time upon notice to ICA members and participating attorneys. Such notice may be posted on this web page.
- If you are a new ICA member and wish to claim your $200 Legal Benefit after having incurred at least $1,000 in legal fees with a participating attorney, please notify ICA Executive Director, Kamila Sekiewicz, directly or through the link below.
Contact us if you are an attorney interested in participating or if you are a prospective member with questions about the benefit.
