1. How does working with a lawyer work?

Step 1: Meeting and/or consultation.

A meeting and/or consultation is necessary to clarify the nature of the case, the Client’s (Principal’s) position, and to explore possible solutions.

Step 2: Terms of engagement.

If the solicitor sees a positive outcome for the client’s (principal’s) case, the terms of engagement are agreed.

Step 3: Conclusion of the contract.

If, following the discussion of the terms of cooperation, the parties have reached an agreement, a written contract for the provision of legal assistance is concluded between the Client (Principal) and the Lawyer.

Step 4: Performance of the contract.

Each party fulfils the terms of the contract to which they have agreed (payment arrangements, provision of legal assistance, and so on).
