Law Practice Management Tip - March 2008

Management Tips are provided by the State Bar of Texas and ABA Practice Management Advisors. The tips are not meant as legal advice, nor binding on the State Bar of Texas or the ABA.

After the initial client interview, it is a good idea to make a copy of the client contract and fee agreement for the client. Give it to the client in a folder along with a firm brochure. This will serve two purposes - first, the client can then file any documents related to his / her case that you may send their way during the course of representation and two, should the client have any questions related to the scope of representation or any questions regarding billing, all the information they need is in that folder. In addition to this, the client will feel like they did not leave your office empty-handed when they walk out with their own "file folder."
