# Additional Legal Review Process

Additional Legal Review can be requested for completed documents, attended to by LY Legal. Additional review can be requested for individual or package documents and can range from a simple ‘read-over’ review to an in-depth review of strategies applied. Fees applicable range depending on the review type, this fee is payable to LY Legal directly.

Once a submission via the legal review form is made, solicitors at LY Legal are made aware of the review request along with notes and a copy of the document itself. Depending on the level of work required, LY Legal will contact the user directly to facilitate any further communication. All work required past this point is handled via LY Legal directly, LYD does not have any input into the process past the submission point.

As clients of LYD, we enable a collaborative relationship between the two firms, allowing those who require additional legal review and consultation to contact LY Legal directly. This can be achieved by contacting our support team via Live Support, or contacting LY Legal directly through the Surge App, available on Apple and Android devices.

There are 3 ways to request for additional Legal Review:

1. On your Surge account, go under Quick Links and choose Legal Review.
