What to expect as we get started

Email

Hi client name,

Now that we are working together, I want to give you a clear sense of how things will generally go, so the process feels less like a black box.

A few things to keep in mind:

• legal team will guide your matter and be your steady point of contact.
• We will keep you updated on a update rhythm basis, and sooner whenever something meaningful happens.
• Every matter is different, so we will explain each stage as it comes rather than overwhelm you now.

I want to be straight with you about one thing: this email explains our process, not the specifics or the likely outcome of your matter. Anything about strategy or your particular situation should come from legal team directly, so you get guidance built for you.

We are here whenever you need us,

A few documents to get your matter started

Email

Hi client name,

To get moving on your matter, there are a few documents and details we will need from you. Gathering them early keeps everything on track and avoids delays later.

Here is what would help:

• What to send: document list.
• Where to send it securely: secure link.
• Ideally by: deadline, though tell me if that is tight.

Please use the secure link above rather than attaching anything sensitive to a normal email, so your information stays protected. If you are unsure whether a particular document is relevant, send it anyway and we will sort out what matters.

If gathering any of this is difficult, just say so and we will find another way. We would rather make this easy than have it hang over you.

Thank you,

your name, firm name

Set up your secure portal at firm name

Email

Hi client name,

Let us get your secure client portal set up. It is the safest and simplest way for us to share documents and updates while we work together, and it takes just a couple of minutes.

Inside the portal, you can upload documents, view messages and files related to your matter, and reach us securely, all in one private place rather than scattered across email.

To activate your account, follow this link: portal link. You will set your own password, so only you can access your information.

For your privacy and the confidentiality of your matter, please keep your login to yourself and use the portal rather than regular email for anything sensitive.

If the link gives you any trouble, contact support contact and we will get you set up, or walk through it with you by phone.

Talk soon,

How billing works at firm name

Email

Hi client name,

I want to be upfront about how billing works, because clear expectations here save everyone stress down the line. Nothing about your costs should ever come as a surprise.

The essentials, in plain terms:

• How and how often you will be invoiced: billing rhythm.
• What your invoices will show, so charges are easy to follow.
• Who to ask about anything on a bill: billing contact.

Please treat a billing question as completely normal. If a charge is ever unclear, ask, and we will walk through it line by line. We would far rather explain something twice than have you quietly wondering about it.

Your engagement letter remains the full and governing detail on fees; this note is just a friendly overview so you know what to expect.

Thank you,

your name, firm name

Who to reach at firm name

Email

Hi client name,

I want to make sure you always know exactly who to turn to, so no question ever feels like it has nowhere to go.

Your main point of contact is:

• Who: contact name.
• How to reach them: contact details.
• When to expect a reply: usually within response time.

If you ever cannot reach contact name, simply reply to this email and someone on the team will make sure your message gets where it needs to. You will not fall through the cracks.

Please do reach out whenever something is on your mind, even if it feels small. It is almost always easier to answer a quick question early than to untangle a worry that has been sitting with you for weeks. We are genuinely here to help,

your name, firm name
