Submitting an enquiry does not itself create a lawyer-client relationship or mean that a matter has been accepted.
Each matter is considered individually and is subject to the professional and administrative checks applicable to the proposed engagement.
Initial Enquiry
A prospective client may provide a brief, non-confidential description of the matter.
At the initial stage, sufficient information should be provided to identify the parties and the general nature of the matter.
Please do not send confidential, privileged or time-sensitive information before we have confirmed that we are able to review the matter.
Conflict-of-Interest Check
Before accepting an engagement, applicable conflict-of-interest checks may require identification of:
- the prospective client
- opposing parties
- related companies or individuals
- other relevant participants
Client Identification
Depending on the matter, clients or prospective clients may be asked to provide:
- identification documents
- company registration documents
- information concerning authorised representatives
- powers of attorney
- information relevant to authority to act
- other documentation applicable to the proposed engagement
Scope of the Proposed Engagement
We may need to review initial information and documents and clarify the nature and scope of the requested work before deciding whether a matter can be accepted.
Acceptance may depend on the nature of the requested assistance, applicable professional obligations and whether the required service falls within the practice and can be undertaken professionally.
Acceptance of the Engagement
No engagement should be regarded as accepted unless and until Albert Islami Law Office has expressly confirmed its acceptance.
Where a matter is accepted, the scope of work, fees and other relevant engagement terms may be confirmed separately.
Confidentiality
Professional confidentiality is a fundamental obligation.
Information provided in connection with an accepted engagement is handled in accordance with the applicable professional obligations.
