Client Engagements

If you want to enter into an attorney-client relationship with SLG, we must first:

(2) Enter into a signed engagement letter between you and SLG. That engagement letter will outline critical non-financial terms, the scope of the engagement, and the financial terms of the engagement, including but not limited to whether those terms (i) involve a retainer, (ii) are predicated upon an hourly rate, or (iii) involve a contingent-fee arrangement.
