01
Initial discussion
Talk through the need.
We discuss the matter, what needs to be done, the deadline and the form of the final work. At this stage, please do not send confidential details until conflicts and terms are addressed.
How it works
A straightforward way to work together.
We agree on the assignment, timing and deliverable before I start. Counsel keeps control of strategy and final review.
02
Scope and direction
Agree on the scope.
Counsel sets the strategy and priorities. The assignment can be one document, one phase of a case or continuing help across a caseload.
03
Focused work
I do the work.
I review the relevant pleadings, records and evidence with the purpose of the assignment in mind. I raise questions and material gaps as they come up.
04
Review and handoff
Review and handoff.
I deliver clean, organized work for attorney review, with the supporting sources, exhibits and open issues clearly identified.
