While everything may go smoothly over the entire case, your engagement letter dictates what your boundaries are and what happens if things go south. This panel will be discussing what you should be including in your engagement letter to set the tone of the relationship and protect yourself, your firm, and your law license, including:

·       what information to include in them, 

·       potential pitfalls of failing to include certain language,

·       ethical concerns and how to discuss those concerns with clients.
