Terms of engagement

Not yet approved for publication. The partners have not signed off the firm's terms of engagement. Rather than publish a template that would read as a promise the firm has not made, this page states only what the system itself does.

What the system records, as built

This is a factual description, not the firm's approved terms of engagement. Terms for your matter are the ones in the engagement letter you sign.

  • No lawyer–client relationship arises from this website, an enquiry, or a consultation request. It arises when a conflict check has been run and both sides have agreed terms in writing.
  • Money received on account is held separately from the firm's fees and is shown to you as a separate balance.
  • Court fees, stamp paper, process fees and similar disbursements are recorded against your matter with receipts.
  • Hearing dates shown to you are the dates the court gave. Courts move dates, and we tell you when they do.
