A firm appointment should identify the lawyer leading the work and the people responsible for delivery. A brand reputation does not answer who will handle the instruction.[2][3]
Understanding the question
Read the professional record and ask which relevant work the named lead has performed. Clarify the division between senior review and day-to-day drafting. Confirm who manages communication and escalation. A strong engagement makes responsibility clear when the matter becomes complex or urgent.[2][3]
Build the working record
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Lead | Who owns the advice and final review? |
| Delivery | Who drafts, negotiates and coordinates? |
| Continuity | What happens if a key person is unavailable? |
Put it into practice
A founder expecting direct involvement from a principal should discuss that expectation in the proposal instead of assuming it from a website biography.
