After you receive your proposal for engagement, I recommend taking
a few days to consider the letter, your litigation budget, what your goals are in the litigation,
and what evidence you have to hand currently you can send to me or show me.
Please note, all engagement letters have a strict 5 calendar day expiry.
Experience demonstrates it is important that a client properly considers the funds
they have on hand to pay for litigation, and funds that they may be able to gain access to.

If a solicitor is necessary at the outset, you may be asked to pay an initial retainer
to the solicitor's trust account (further retainers may be required).
The solicitor can be one of your choosing, or I can nominate a solicitor myself.
For reverse briefs, I generally use a few solicitors in central and south Auckland.
