A few things worth asking.
Does sending this form create an attorney-client relationship?
No. Representation requires a separate agreement and any necessary conflict review.
Should I include confidential details?
No. Do not send confidential or sensitive information through an initial inquiry.
Which jurisdiction does the firm serve?
The firm’s actual jurisdiction and attorney admissions must be supplied and verified before client publication. This is a demonstration brand.
Business matters
Bring legal questions into the planning process.
Discuss the company’s situation and the decisions ahead. The engagement defines the matters included and the appropriate next steps.
Request contact
Before the next step.
Use the first conversation to discuss your priorities, the proposed scope and any information needed for an assessment. Availability, terms and professional qualifications must be confirmed directly.
