ENGAGING

Scope, timelines and fees are agreed in writing before work begins.

An initial discussion is used to understand the matter and to establish whether the practice is the right fit for it. If it is, you receive the terms of engagement in writing. Every matter is then handled directly by the principal through to closure.

Describe the matter.

Write or call, and the practice will tell you plainly whether and how it can help.
