Frequently asked questions
How is a retainer priced?
The firm does not disclose fees on the website. Retainer terms — scope, response times, and fee structure — are agreed in the retainer letter following the discovery call.
What happens if a matter requires court representation?
Court representation typically falls outside the routine retainer scope and is handled under a separate engagement, unless agreed otherwise. The retainer covers strategy and coordination; the litigation engagement covers the appearance and pleadings.
Can the retainer be paused or terminated?
The retainer letter sets out the engagement period and termination provisions. Standard terms allow either party to terminate with reasonable notice.
