ENGAGEMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

These are the general terms governing the engagement between City Laws Associates and our clients, subject to modification only by mutual written consent.

ENGAGEMENT LETTER:

Prior to commencing any work, a formal Engagement Letter will be drafted, requiring confirmation from the client regarding the scope of the engagement. This document will encompass the Terms of Reference provided by the client. As part of our commitment, the client authorizes our firm to act on their behalf for various activities, such as executing complaints, claims, verifications, dismissals, deposits, orders, or other relevant documents within the specified engagement scope. However, the firm will refrain from settling a lawsuit or any dispute without obtaining the client’s advance consent.

MANAGEMENT OF THE ENGAGEMENT:

Each client will be assigned a dedicated associate who will serve as the primary point of communication between the client and the firm. Delegation of specific tasks or aspects of the work may occur to other associates or staff members, either to involve specialists or to ensure the provision of services in the most efficient and timely manner.

PROFESSIONAL FEES:

Our commitment to clients includes fair and reasonable fee structures. Determination of fees considers factors such as the complexities and time involved in the legal process.

EXPENSES:

In addition to professional fees, clients are responsible for payments related to additional expenses. These may include Court Fees, Publications, Certified Copies, Court Reporting, Notary, Commissioner’s Fees, and other miscellaneous expenses or charges for services arranged by the firm.

TIMELY PAYMENT OF DUES:

To maintain a smooth working relationship, clients are expected to make timely payments. In the event that payment of expenses is more than 30 days overdue, the firm reserves the right to suspend legal work until the outstanding dues are cleared.

TERMINATION:

Clients retain the right to terminate the engagement at any time, with or without cause, by providing written notice to the firm for the withdrawal of the engagement letter. Termination of services will not absolve clients of their responsibility for fees and charges incurred before termination or those associated with an orderly transition of the matter.
