5 Ethical, Effective Engagement Letters J. Randolph Evans, Esq. Shari L. Klevens, Esq. mckennalong.com Introduction Legal malpractice claim prevention can be divided into four procedural categories: (1) Pre-file Opening; (2) File Opening; (3) Representation of the Client; and (4) File Closing. Attorneys typically give pre-file opening the least amount of attention. 1

6 Introduction Proper pre-file opening is within an attorney s control. Most auditors check whether each file contains an executed letter or contract. It is a very reliable measure of whether the firm has an effective system in place that reduces malpractice risk. An executed letter or contract should be in place before a new file is opened. Purpose Confirm a mutual understanding. Define: Identity of the client(s); What the attorney has agreed to do; and What the fee will be. 2

7 How should it be formatted? Format is less important than the existence of an engagement letter. Possibilities: Formal letter; Informal letter; or Formal contract. What should it include? Identity of the specific client. Scope of the representation. Amount of the fee. Whether a retainer required. Payment of expenses incurred. Procedure for attorney withdrawal. Resolution of any conflict issues. Disclosures of in-house attorney-client privilege. Non-assignability language. 3

8 Client Identity Do you represent a single client or multiple clients? Is the client a person or corporation? Does the client have multiple capacities? Is the client a corporation? Use a disclaimer: This firm does not represent any person or entity that has not been specifically identified as a client. No duties have been undertaken nor assumed for any person or entity that has not been specifically identified as a client. Scope of Representation Confirm exactly what you have been hired to do: Limited representation, or General representation. Undefined representations are considered general representations. General representations are risky. General representations are unlimited in time and scope. 4

9 Duration of Representation Define the duration of the representation. Include a time limitation: Resolution by settlement or judgment; Closing of real estate venture; Execution of will; or Defined period of inactivity. Always execute a file closing letter. Amount of Fees State exactly what the fee is: Contingent; Hourly; Flat; Retainer; or Combination. If retained by an insurer, state who is paying. Delineate how the fee will be billed and paid. 5

10 Amount of Fees Retainer: State whether a retainer is required; State whether the retainer is refundable; and Define the application of the retainer. Contingency: Define the parameters of the contingency fee; and Confirm disclosure of necessary facts. Avoid Future Fee Disputes How to avoid fee disputes: Use clear language; Define tasks and services; Address whether the attorney is entitled to a right vested in the client; and Clearly define the type of fee and billing/payment procedures. If the fee agreement is modified: Put it in writing; and Advise the client to seek independent counsel. Include a mediation/arbitration clause. 6

11 Expenses Define what constitutes an expense: Telephone calls; Filing fees; Copying charges; and/or Other items. Withdrawal Why might an attorney withdraw? A conflict may arise. A client may refuse to pay. A client may refuse to follow directions. Identify the process for withdrawal. Include the name and address for communicating withdrawal. Define the process for withdrawing. 7

12 Conflicts Prior to the engagement letter/contract: Identify any conflicts of interest. Determine whether the conflict may be waived. Fully advise the client of the conflict. In the engagement letter/contract: Confirm that the client was fully advised. Confirm that the client has consented to waive any conflicts. Delineate the waiver of any conflicts. Intra-Law Firm Communications Whether the attorney-client privilege protects an attorney s communications with in-house counsel is an emerging issue. Until there is a consensus, include protective language. Confirm that the firm may consult with its own internal counsel regarding issues involving the firm s obligations. 8

13 Non-Assignability Language The terms of the fee agreement are not the end of the evaluation. Malpractice claims are fact intensive. Legal Malpractice claims are different than other causes of action. Most states do not allow the assignment of malpractice claims. New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts do allow. The issue is unclear in D.C., Mississippi and Georgia. If the law in your state is not clear, confirm the nonassignability of a malpractice claim. Should you use an Engagement or Retainer Letter? Traditionally, engagement letters and/or fee contracts provided many advantages and no meaningful disadvantages. Newell Recycling of Atlanta, Inc. v. Jordan Jones and Goulding, Inc. Written agreements = 6-year statute of limitations (O.C.G.A ) Retainer letter = 4-year statute of limitations (O.C.G.A ) Safer course: Letter that confirms the existence of an attorney-client relationship without documenting a written contract for professional services. 9

14 The Letter or Contract is Executed. What next? Complete a Standard Intake Form that includes: Name(s) of client(s). Name(s) of interested parties. Subject matter of representation. Address(es) of client(s). Telephone number(s) of client(s). Fee arrangement. Insurance information. Docket entry dates. Confirmation conflicts of interest evaluated. The Letter or Contract is Executed. What next? Draft a File Opening Memo that includes: Identity of the client; Resolution of any potential conflict issues; Area(s) of law involved; Type and specifics of the fee arrangement; Communication information relating to the client; Completion of the disqualifier checklist; and Deadlines that might be involved. 10

15 Open the file: The Letter or Contract is Executed. What next? Engagement letter/contract, and File Memo. Establish appropriate escrow accounts. Maintain appropriate bookkeeping records: Retainers; Fees; and Other monies. Questions? 11
