  3. iii

    Agree the scope.

    The proposed work, fees and next steps are set out in writing before you decide.

Before we talk.

A few practical questions, so you can begin with a little more clarity.

What if I am unsure which practice area I need?

Choose "I'm not sure yet" and write a short outline of the situation. We will point you to the right adviser.

What should I include in my first enquiry?

The essentials: what has happened, any important dates and what you hope to achieve. Leave sensitive detail for the conversation itself.

How are fees and next steps agreed?

After the first conversation we set out the scope, the fee basis and the timetable in writing. Nothing proceeds until you agree.

Can we meet outside London?

Yes. Many clients meet us by video, and partners travel for matters that need a visit in person.
