Prepare for your legal enquiry
Knowing what to have ready can make your first discussion more useful. Start with the checklist closest to your matter. Please do not upload or send sensitive documents through a general enquiry before the firm asks for them.
Divorce and family matters
A short outline is enough to start. Keep documents available for the attorney rather than sending everything with your first message.
- Your marriage or relationship documents
- Any summons, court order or draft agreement already received
- A brief description of the issues about finances, property or children
- Any upcoming hearing or response date
Property, wills and estates
- The property address and the stage of the transaction or dispute
- Relevant sale or lease documents, if available
- An existing will or executor paperwork, where relevant
- The main question and any deadline you need to discuss
Business and workplace matters
- The company or employer involved
- The relevant agreement, correspondence or notice
- Who is involved in the disagreement or proposed transaction
- The business decision or deadline needing attention
Considering mediation
Tell us whether you are asking about an independent mediation appointment or legal representation for one side. Those are different roles. The firm will clarify the issue, who is involved and whether further checks are needed.
