A method, not a menu.
Most engagements share a similar arc — what changes is the depth at each step. The four below describe how counsel typically unfolds.
Intake
A confidential conversation, usually 45 minutes. We listen first; we ask the questions that determine whether we are the right firm for the matter.
Memorandum
A short written assessment — strategy, exposure, alternatives, costs. The same document a partner would write for a fellow partner.
Engagement
Senior-led team is staffed. Communications are clear and predictable. Billing reflects the work, with monthly cadence and no surprises.
Conclusion
Resolution and post-mortem. We document lessons for the file and revisit the matter on the schedule we agreed at the outset.
Where the work meets the world.

A short, confidential conversation costs nothing and clarifies a great deal.
