Before you book
Use your first contact to establish the practical arrangements. Fees, meeting length and availability should be confirmed directly with the practice.
- Availability
- Ask whether the practice can assist with your type of matter and the dates involved.
- Format & location
- Confirm whether the meeting will be in person or remote, and any address or joining instructions.
- Duration
- Ask how much time is available and which questions should be covered first.
- Consultation fees
- Ask whether the initial consultation is paid, what it includes, and how any applicable fees and taxes are handled.
- Scope & next steps
- Clarify what can be discussed at the consultation and what would require a separate engagement.
Leave with the right questions answered
Before proceeding, ask which tasks the lawyer can take on, what you will need to do, and how the proposed fees will work. Confirm whether the practice has accepted the matter and how further communication will take place.
An enquiry or appointment request does not confirm representation or change a deadline. If a date is approaching, flag it when you contact the practice.
A few practical questions
Is sending an enquiry the same as booking?
No. The form sends an enquiry. Wait for the practice to confirm availability and appointment arrangements.
Should I upload documents?
The enquiry form does not accept uploads. Start with the general topic and ask the practice how to share documents securely.
Can the consultation be in French?
Appointments are offered in English, Ukrainian and Russian. The French website provides information and does not indicate French-language representation.
