WHY THESE THREE
Different strengths.
One useful order.
Choose by mandate, not firm size. Define the company, owners, industry, jurisdiction, urgency, transaction or recurring need, and required tax, securities, employment, IP, privacy, competition, real-estate or dispute support. Clear conflicts before sending confidential material and request a written phase budget and staffing plan.
