Topics to discuss
- Review of the factual history and evidence sources
- Preparation for negotiation and mediation discussions
- Document preparation and procedural communication for litigation and arbitration matters
Before an initial conversation
- A dated chronology of relevant events
- Agreements, payment records and correspondence
- Notices or procedural documents received, and the issues you wish to address
From understanding to a clear arrangement
An initial conversation helps clarify your concerns and potential scope. Acceptance depends on the records, conflict checks, availability and a written agreement. Begin with an overview and avoid sending confidential materials through an unverified channel.
These are proposed practice areas. Availability, scope and responsible counsel must be confirmed by the firm and recorded in a formal engagement.
