This session will cover

  • Your retainer is the ticket to being paid. If it is inadequate, there may be no entitlement to recover costs. It’s that important.
  • Ensuring that the relevant Consumer Protection Regulations are complied with, including a notice of the right to cancel where
    appropriate.
  • Ensuring fee earner definitions in respect of hourly rates do not unnecessarily restrict what can be claimed.
  • Avoiding provisions in retainers which conflict or are inconsistent with each other where standard templates are being used.
  • If action is needed on a retainer, this needs to be taken before the case settles. Afterwards is too late.
  • Ensuring everything is documented on your file.
