Making Legal Submissions: The Complete Guide to an Efficient and Professional Process

In the world of law, every detail is important, and every document requires precise and timely handling. Legal delivery is not just about moving paper from point A to point B; it is a critical operation with binding legal force that can dramatically affect the outcome of legal cases. For lawyers, law firms, and any other legal entity, a thorough understanding of the delivery process is essential to ensure compliance with protocols, save time, and prevent unnecessary delays. In this article, we will dive deep into the legal delivery process and explain how it should be conducted in a professional and reliable manner.

What is legal delivery and how is it carried out?

Legal delivery is the act of transferring documents of legal significance to the relevant party, such as: lawsuits, defenses, summonses, orders, judgments, various notices, etc. The main goal is to ensure that the document reaches its destination in an official, controlled manner, and with full documentation.

A standard legal delivery process at a professional and leading courier company should include the following steps:

Receiving the order and collecting the documents:

• Opening an order: The client (lawyer, firm) contacts the courier company with a request to perform legal delivery. The order specifies the recipient's details (full name, exact address, phone number if necessary), the type of document, the urgency of delivery (regular, urgent, express), and any special instructions.

• Collecting the documents: A courier from the company arrives at the client's address (usually the law firm) and collects the relevant documents. At this stage, it is important to ensure that the documents are complete and ready for delivery.

Transferring the documents and carrying out the actual delivery:

• Secure transportation: Documents are transported safely and discreetly to their destination. Professional companies use dedicated vehicles and tracking systems to ensure the integrity and location of the shipment at all times.

• Personal or Authorized Delivery: The courier arrives at the recipient's address. In many cases, personal delivery to the recipient is required only. If the recipient is not present, the courier will attempt to identify an authorized recipient (for example: an adult family member at the same address, or a secretary in the office, in accordance with guidelines and the law). In some cases, multiple delivery attempts may be required.

• Delivery Confirmation: This is the most critical step. Upon making a legal delivery, the courier has the recipient (or the person authorized to receive) sign a delivery confirmation. This confirmation is conclusive evidence that the document was delivered. The confirmation will include details such as the date and time of delivery, the recipient's name, ID (if applicable), and a signature.

• Documentation: In addition to a signature, advanced courier companies will document the delivery through a photo (for example, of the door or the delivery confirmation, in coordination with the customer and maintaining privacy), GPS recording, and any other means that can provide additional proof of proper delivery.
