How to Effectively Use Limited Scope Retainers in Your Administrative Law Practice
Administrative Law | Original Program Date: June 14, 2016

By their nature, administrative tribunals are intended to provide specialized and more efficient access to justice; however, the legal costs associated with a case before a tribunal are far from insignificant. Whether you work for a legal clinic looking to make the most of limited resources, or in private practice, unbundled legal services provide an opportunity for you to service clients who cannot otherwise afford full representation. Build your business while improving access to justice with limited scope retainers.

Many lawyers are already offering limited scope retainers, so make sure you are doing them right. Join us to learn how to improve your practices around limited scope retainers. Our expert panel will provide the tools and knowledge you need to better serve your clients while protecting yourself, including:

  • Key considerations in deciding whether to accept a limited retainer, including important red flags
  • Essential advice for managing client expectations and clearly establishing the limits of your retainer
  • Helpful guidance for drafting your retainer agreement
  • How to terminate a limited retainer
  • Critical strategies for minimizing the risk of negligence claims
