Flexible payment options
Get the legal help you need. Pay over time.
Flatly.ca offers fixed-fee legal services, so you can understand the cost before moving forward. For eligible services, you may be able to finance your legal fee through Affirm and make scheduled payments over time.
Fixed legal fee
Scheduled payments
Illustration only. Actual terms, interest, and payment schedule are determined by Affirm.
More flexibility. The same clear legal fee.
Know the legal fee
Flatly.ca’s fixed-fee services let you see the legal fee upfront, before deciding whether financing is right for you.
Pay over time
If approved, Affirm lets you divide the eligible transaction into scheduled payments based on the options presented during your application.
Get started sooner
Financing may make it easier to move forward with an eligible legal service without paying the entire fee at once.
How financing works
Step 1
Choose an eligible service
Look for the ‘Financing available’ indicator on services provided directly through Flatly.ca.
Step 2
Complete the onboarding process
Submit your service request and complete any required conflict checks, identification, retainer, or other onboarding requirements.
Step 3
Select Pay Later
When you receive an eligible Clio Payments payment request, choose the Pay Later option and complete Affirm’s secure application.
Step 4
Review your options
Affirm will show the payment plans, interest rate, payment schedule, and any amount due upfront for which you qualify. You decide whether to accept.
Submitting a service request does not guarantee that Flatly.ca or a lawyer will accept the engagement. Legal work begins only after all required onboarding steps have been completed.
Which services can be financed?
Financing may be available for fixed-fee legal services provided directly through Flatly.ca. It is not available through this program for services delivered by independent third-party referral partners.
