Scope, fees and exclusions are confirmed in writing before work begins.
Engagement structure depends on the nature, stage, complexity and expected duration.

From inquiry to engagement
An inquiry lets the firm understand the matter and conduct an initial conflict check. It does not itself create an attorney-client relationship or confirm acceptance of work.
Include essential parties, a short issue summary and the important deadline. Do not send highly sensitive information until the firm confirms the appropriate secure channel.
For matters outside the firm’s core business practice, use Selected Special Matters. Screening is case by case.
