| The
Initial Consultation |
| Before undertaking any representation, it is my practice to have an initial consultation with
each prospective client. The initial consultation
generally lasts in excess of one hour and provides me with an opportunity to learn about
your needs and concerns. Before the conclusion of the consultation, I will provide you with
my recommendation of how you should address your employment issue(s), either on your
own or with my assistance.. |
| Retention
After Consultation |
After the initial consultation and depending on the nature of the matter, I can be retained
to address your employment issues in one of the following ways:
Hourly Retention
I can be retained on an hourly basis for all matters.
Contingency
In certain circumstances I represent clients on a contingency basis. Under this retainer
structure, I receive a percentage of what I help you achieve. It is only after the
consultation that I can assess whether a contingency is appropriate for your matter.
Under either retainer arrangement, I require an initial retainer to be placed in escrow
And applied towards the hourly charges and/or expenses. |
| Litigation
and Arbitration |
| In the event that you need my services in connection with a litigation or arbitration
proceeding, I generally limit the retainer arrangement to hourly, although in certain
matters where I feel it is appropriate I will consider a contingency arrangement. A larger
initial retainer is required before litigation or arbitration work begins. |

accept any particular retainer arrangement or fee that is not

and the client. |
