Free Attorney Engagement Letter
You're looking to hire a lawyer, or maybe you're a law firm about to sign a new client. Either way, you'll want to create an Attorney Engagement Letter to help protect your legal rights and obligations. Get the letter in writing before signing on for legal services, so that both parties can be on the same page.
Whether you're a lawyer or just looking to hire one, an Attorney Engagement Letter is a handy tool for outlining the attorney-client relationship. In essence, it documents the terms and conditions of the sale of legal services to a business or individual. With this information in writing, you'll have a better idea of your legal rights and responsibilities. Your Attorney Engagement Letter should include details like: the name of the client; the name of the attorney or law firm providing legal services; a description of the legal services being provided; how the attorney will be compensated; whether the attorney will charge hourly rates, or whether the law firm charges different rates for different members; the terms of the payment; whether the attorney charges a deposit, and how much; and which state's laws will govern this agreement.
Use the Attorney Engagement Letter document if:
- You are a lawyer or law firm providing services to another business or individual.
- You will be contracting with a lawyer or law firm to receive legal services.
