How Engagements Work
- A prospective client emails a short summary of the transaction and the parties involved. Supporting documents should not be sent unless requested.
- California Sports Lawyer® conducts a conflicts review and confirms fit. If there is no conflict and the matter is a fit, a complimentary 30 minute strategy consult is scheduled.
- After the consult, a clear written scope and a flat fee or monthly counsel proposal are provided.
- Representation does not begin unless and until a legal services agreement is signed and any required fee or retainer is paid. Communications through this website, by email, or by phone do not create an attorney-client relationship.
- No guarantees are made, and results depend on the facts, counterparties, and deal terms.
