Who the members are
Many North Americans live in Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Portugal or Spain, or own property there, and they have legal questions about residency, property, companies and cars.
Example member questions, one per country.
For lawyers in Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Portugal and Spain

Why lawyers join
The unpaid part of the work
Finding them, booking them and chasing them after a call takes hours that nobody pays for.
An example week of work around calls that nobody bills.
What ILP members do
ILP members pay a monthly membership that includes their calls, they write their question down before booking, and a customer success manager follows up after you speak.
An example member: the question written before booking, then the follow-up note.
How it works for you
Step 1 of 4
Apply online.
We check your licence with the body that issued it (for example your carné with the Colegio de Abogados y Abogadas de Costa Rica, or your colegiado number in Spain) and reply by email.
Example screen: a Costa Rica licence checked with the Colegio, then the reply email.
Step 2 of 4
Set the weekly hours when members can book you, and the legal areas you take.
Example screen: weekly hours with Wednesday added, and the legal areas chosen.
Step 3 of 4
Before each 20-minute video call, read a one-screen brief with the member's question and profile.
Example screen: the brief for a 20-minute call, with the question, profile facts and dates.
Step 4 of 4
After the call, confirm the suggested summary and next steps.
ILP follows up with the member, including quotes for paid work.
Example screen: the summary confirmed, then the customer success manager's follow-up and a quote in progress.
What the partnership is
ILP is a legal membership for North Americans in six countries.
Joining is free for lawyers.
ILP does not charge you to apply or to use the lawyer portal.
Members pay US$79.99 a month for up to three 20-minute video calls a month with a lawyer licensed in their country.
Partner lawyers are independent lawyers who take those calls through the portal.
Work beyond a call, like a filing or a transfer, is quoted separately and the member decides.

The partnership, in plain words
Read this before you apply. The partner terms are a draft, and ILP's counsel is still reviewing them.
- You stay independent
- You keep your own practice and your professional duties. ILP does not direct your legal judgment.
- Free to join
- There is no fee to apply and no fee to use the lawyer portal. The US$79.99 a month is what members pay for their membership.
- Member calls
- Members book 20-minute video calls inside your hours. Their membership includes up to three calls a month.
- Paid work
- If a member needs more than a call, you set the scope and your fee in a quote. The member accepts before work starts.
- How you are paid
- How fees for calls and for quoted work are set, split and paid is in the partner terms. That part is pending review by ILP's counsel.
- Who can apply
- Lawyers licensed and in good standing in Colombia (tarjeta profesional), Costa Rica (Colegio carné), Mexico (cédula profesional), Panama (idoneidad), Portugal (Ordem dos Advogados cédula) or Spain (colegiado at a Colegio de Abogados). Most members speak English, so tell us which languages you can hold a call in.
- What we check
- Your licence with the body that issued it, and your notary registration if you are a notary. We email you if something is missing.

Questions lawyers ask
Short answers to what lawyers ask us before they apply.
Do I have to stop working with my own clients?
No. ILP calls fit inside the hours you set, and you keep your practice.
Do I pay anything to join?
No. Applying is free, and so is using the lawyer portal. The US$79.99 a month on this page is what members pay ILP for their membership.
What happens after I apply?
You get an email right away. You can sign in to the lawyer portal and check your hours while we review your application. We email you again when you are approved, and only then can members book you.
Do you ask for bank details in the application?
No. We ask for payout details after you are approved. The application does not ask for bank details, ID numbers or passwords.
Who sees my rates?
ILP staff, to prepare quotes with you. Members see the price of a quote, not your hourly rate.
