You can use the feedback form (below) to request a quote, or (if there's a lot of information) you can email your request. In either case, by following these checklists you will give me a better chance of providing an acceptable quote. It will also help if you can email me any key documents, such as fee proposals or contract preliminaries. N.B. The checklists are not exhaustive: I still need to hear about the matter in your own words!

- Name of your law firm
- Address of your law firm
- Your position in law firm
- How will your client be made aware of my involvement (e.g. as your consultant)?
