Before you begin
Should I wait until all documents are available?
If a deadline is approaching, flag it immediately and provide the documents already received. An online enquiry alone does not establish a retainer or suspend a deadline.
Can you advise both sides?
A conflict check comes before accepting a matter. Availability depends on the parties, related entities and existing engagements.
