Answers to the questions most often raised before an engagement begins.
Starting an engagement
Send a brief outline of the matter by email, telephone or the contact form. Dr Majdzadeh reviews the matter personally and, after a conflict check, the scope of work, the team and the fee basis are agreed in writing before work begins.
A short account of the facts, the principal contract or contracts, key correspondence, any notice, claim or judgment already issued, and any deadlines you face. A summary is enough at this stage; please do not send confidential documents until the engagement has been confirmed.
State the deadline clearly in your first message. Time limits for objections, appeals and enforcement steps can be decisive in a dispute, and urgent matters are reviewed first.
The terms of the first meeting and the preliminary review are confirmed to you clearly before the meeting takes place.
