Four steps, the same in every matter.
A recovery suit and a merger have little in common except the way the firm handles them.
Read the papers first
The first conversation is about the facts and the documents: the notice, the order, the contract, the FIR. Advice begins after they have been read.
Advise in writing
You receive the legal position, the options open to you and the likely course of each, set down in writing so that you can decide without pressure.
Act on your instructions
Drafting, filing, negotiation and appearances follow the course you choose. Every pleading is settled with you before it is filed.
Report after every date
After each hearing or meeting you are told what happened, what was ordered and what comes next.
