New clients.
More time.
Welcome to ORA

Yes. Add your clients to the workspace to keep your matters in one place, track your time and bill. No ORA fee applies to clients you invite yourself.

Your profile lets people looking for legal advice find you and send you a request. You remain free to accept each mandate after your checks, including conflicts of interest. The volume of requests is not guaranteed.

The client pays by card: when they book a consultation, when they accept a fixed-price offer, then by weekly invoice on a time-based mandate. ORA collects these payments on your behalf and pays your fee out by bank transfer. It keeps only its service fee, paid by the client on top of your fee. Stripe’s processing fees are deducted from your payout. If a client disputes a card payment, the payout concerned is suspended until the dispute is decided. If you are VAT-registered, VAT appears on a separate line.

Your data and documents are hosted in Switzerland, in Zurich. Matters are isolated and their content is reserved for authorised people. ORA is committed to professional secrecy. The privacy file sets out the AI subprocessors, purposes, retention and access arrangements.

No. Matters are isolated: their content, messages and documents are not automatically shared with other members of your firm. Collaboration must respect the scope of permissions and the mandate.

The level of signature needed depends on the document, the procedure and the recipient’s requirements. Check them before sending: an electronic signature does not automatically replace a handwritten one in every case.

The trial starts when you choose a plan and enter a card. Unless you cancel, the card is charged on day 15 and the plan carries on. If you cancel during the trial, nothing is charged: AI, e-signatures, new ORA requests and client invitations are no longer available once it ends. Your ongoing mandates carry on: appointments already booked and their video calls, messages, documents and payments. Monthly subscriptions carry no commitment.

Every lawyer names the cantonal bar register they are registered with, and every legal practitioner (juriste) submits their Swiss law degree. An administrator checks the register or the diploma by hand, and we keep what was consulted and the date of the check. A profile only becomes visible to clients once that check is done.

It is only shown while the verification stands: if it is withdrawn, or the account is suspended, the profile disappears from results immediately. The date the register was last consulted is on the profile, so you can judge how recent it is yourself.

The client pays by card, when they book or accept your offer, and ora. collects on your behalf. Your fee is paid out to you by bank transfer once the work is done and the funds are available. For an appointment, that is when the consultation is over. For a fixed-price offer, that is when the client closes the mandate or, failing that, seven days after you deliver. For a time-based mandate, that is when the client has paid the invoice issued automatically in your name every Monday for the previous week, by link or by automatic charge. Nothing is paid out while a dispute is open. Stripe’s processing fees are deducted from your payout. If a client disputes a card payment, the payout concerned is suspended until the dispute is decided.

Ten minutes after the scheduled time, the appointment is recorded as missed by the platform, not by you. You keep your fee under the cancellation scale and the client is told. If you are the one who misses the appointment, your fee is refunded to the client in full, and instant booking is suspended for you for thirty days.
