  • We have completed our conflict-of-interest checks and accepted your matter.
  • You have received and signed a written engagement letter or retainer agreement.
  • The applicable fees and scope of work have been mutually agreed upon in writing.

All fees for legal services are communicated prior to engagement and are exclusive of applicable taxes (including GST) unless stated otherwise. Fees once paid are non-refundable unless otherwise agreed in the engagement letter or required under applicable law.

  • You must not submit any information that is false, misleading, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise unlawful.
