New inquiries
How we evaluate a new matter
Before we agree to act, we ask four questions. We answer them quickly and tell you the outcome either way.
01
Fit
Is the matter within our six practice areas and a jurisdiction where our attorneys are admitted, or can we work with local counsel?
02
Conflicts
Do we already act for, or against, anyone involved? We check before discussing details.
03
Timing
Can we give the matter the attention it needs by the deadlines that apply?
04
Proportion
Is our involvement likely to be worth its cost to you? If not, we say so.
