Your situation
Write a short timeline.
A few dated notes can be more useful than a long first message.
- What happened and when
- Who is involved
- What remains unresolved
- Any upcoming deadline
Our approach
Start with the facts.
Leave room for the questions.
A useful first conversation begins with a clear outline of your situation. Here is how to prepare and what to confirm before proceeding.
01
Tell us what’s happening.
Share a brief outline of your matter and any deadline. You can start by phone or WhatsApp.
02
Discuss the right scope.
Ask what assistance fits your situation, what documents are needed and what a consultation includes.
03
Agree the next step.
Confirm availability, fees and the scope of any engagement before work begins.
04
Move forward informed.
Use the consultation to understand your position and discuss the options relevant to your circumstances.
Come prepared
Make the first conversation useful.
Your documents
Know what you have.
Make a list of relevant records. Ask how to share them before sending sensitive files.
- Agreements and notices
- Relevant correspondence
- Payment records
- Official letters or documents
Your questions
Ask before you commit.
Use the first conversation to understand what is available for your matter.
- What does the consultation cover?
- What will it cost?
- What information is needed?
- What happens afterwards?
Let’s talk about your next step.
A short conversation is a good place to begin.
